On the second day of the NFL's annual meeting, Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay says he sees no reason to consider “any sort of unusual indemnification.”
Irsay said Monday that he believes the best outcome would be a sale by Snyder that would preclude the owners taking such a vote.
“You hate to speculate like that because, I mean, you know, that is in the [NFL] constitution for a reason,” Irsay said. “But you never hope to get down those trails. And I think everyone’s just trying to be positive and think that, you know, that that’s not something that’s going to become an issue because it’s like asking a coach, ‘Well, if you get down 28 points, do you think you’ll throw the ball downfield on every single play?’ I mean, you hope that it doesn’t come down to that.
“And I think we don’t speculate in terms of getting there because, I think, the best thing is having the process, like I said, unfold where there’s a sale and the terms are agreed upon by the league and the seller and the buyer, and we move on past there. So that’s really the hope.”Daniel Snyder’s wife, Tanya, the team’s co-CEO, is representing the Commanders at this meeting, in her husband’s absence.
“The information is very little to none in terms of the 31 of us and, you know, really, probably even the league office,” he said. “Right now, you know, the sale process is being run by them. And so, really, we’ve heard kind of what you guys have heard about possible three candidates and everything that gets reported out there, I know, is probably somewhat speculative because it’s just what people have heard.
Leading bidders for the team attempted to complete a deal with Snyder ahead of this meeting, according to people familiar with the sales process. The prospective buyers include Josh Harris, the owner of the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers and the NHL’s New Jersey Devils; Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who owns The Washington Post; Tilman Fertitta, owner of the NBA’s Houston Rockets; and Canadian commercial real estate developer and private equity executive Steve Apostolopoulos.
