One would think that the NFL’s owners would be glad to see Daniel Snyder find a taker for the Washington Commanders, but there are apparently some mixed feelings about the agreement reached last week, Grey Papke of Larry Brown Sports reports.

Snyder’s sale of the Commanders to a group led by Philadelphia 76ers owner Josh Harris is likely to be approved, though some are disappointed about the sale price, according to Mark Maske and Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post. Owners are eager to get Snyder out and will likely approve the deal, but there is a belief the franchise is worth more than Snyder is getting for it.

“I thought it was worth $7 billion. I don’t know why you’d cut out the one guy who could pay that,” one source told the Post, referring to Amazon co-founder Jeff Bezos.

Few people would agree that the $6 million sale price, a record for an American pro sports franchise, would constitute a disappointment. Snyder will get a big profit on his original investment, and the league will get a new owner who should cause fewer headaches.
