On May 12, it was announced that a deal had been agreed for the NFL franchise to be sold to a consortium led by Johnson. The 12-time NBA All-Star is part of a group that is led by Josh Harris and the Harris group, which has now been officially approved by NFL owners. Harris is also the co-owner of NBA franchise the Philadelphia 76ers, with the deal first being announced by the Commanders' now-former owners Dan and Tanya Snyder. It's been reported that the deal to complete the sale of the NFC East franchise is worth $6 billion. In the process, the sale has become the most expensive fee for a sports team in history. It comes at the same time that Premier League giants Manchester United are in the process of potentially being sold by the Glazer family. The deal was unanimously approved by NFL owners at a special meeting in Minneapolis. In a statement, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said: 'Congratulations to Josh Harris and his impressive group of partners. "Josh will be a great addition to the NFL. He has a remarkable record in business, sports, and in his communities. The diverse group that Josh has put together is outstanding for its business acumen and strong Washington ties and we welcome them to the NFL as well. 'I met Josh several years ago, prior to his acquisition of an interest in the Steelers and have been fortunate to get to know him better over the past few months. I know he has a commitment to winning on the field, but also to running an organization that everyone will be proud of -- and to making positive contributions in the community." The Snyder family had been the owners of the Commanders since purchasing the team back in 1999. The deal was completed for $800){kind=link}
