Highlights From ESPN’s New Insider Report on Washington Commanders Owner Daniel Snyder

Daniel Snyder is back in the news.

There’s a brand New exposé on the Daniel Snyder situation in Washington. ESPN’s Seth Wickersham, Don Van Natta Jr. and Tisha Thompson put out a new story about the Washington Commanders owner this morning that alleges that Dan Snyder has “dirt” on commissioner Roger Goodell and a number of other NFL owners. Basically the article surmises that no one in the NFL likes Daniel Snyder, trusts him, or wants him to own a team. Snyder has allegedly dug up enough dirt that he thinks he can destroy some owners and even the commissioner if he needs to.

Here are some of the highlights from the expose:

• “They can’t f— with me.”
• “The NFL is a mafia,” he recently told an associate. “All the owners hate each other.” “That’s not true,” one veteran owner says. “All the owners hate Dan.”

Apparently there is not a single owner who likes Dan Snyder, not a single one.

• “He’s behaving like a mad dog cornered.”
• Snyder sees “evil lurking in every shadow and around every corner.”
• “Arrogant. Obnoxious. Standoffish. Selfish.”

That’s a first impression Snyder made to one NFL owner about two decades ago.

• “I’m the f—ing owner, and if you don’t do this, I’m going to kill you,”

Something Snyder says “half-jokingly” to staff according to a former team executive.

• “Carson Wentz?”

That’s what another team owner said upon hearing that Snyder thought all he needed for all his problems to go away was a marquee quarterback. Despite saying he was stepping back from football decisions, the Wentz trade is being put directly on Snyder, which is fitting.

It’s only a matter of time before Synder is forced to sell, but the biq question is who is going to take down with him?

Now that’s going to be wild.
