The NFL's owners may have finally tired of Daniel Snyder as the owner of the Washington Commanders.

According to a report, the league's owners sense that the time has finally come for Snyder to sell the franchise.

Last week more allegations were made against the Washington owner, who has been under fire in recent years.

Roger Goodell can propose firing any owner, shareholder or partner for wrongful conduct and would take that complaint to the league's Executive Committee. Goodell would need three-fourths of the committee to vote to terminate the owner. 

Snyder, 57, has owned the franchise since May 1999.

The NFL says that the league, not the Washington Commanders, will conduct an independent inquiry into Tiffani Johnston's allegations of sexual harassment against Dan Snyder.

The Commanders announced Wednesday morning that Pallas Global Group LLC, led by former Assistant United States Attorneys Bonnie Jonas and Tiffany Moller, will manage an "independent investigation" into allegations made last week by Johnston before a congressional committee.

But the league clarified later Wednesday that it will be in control of any investigation or action taken.

"We'll do an investigation," Roger Goodell said. "We've said from Day One that we will look into this. ... I do not see any way a team can do its own investigation of itself. That's something we would do and we would do with an outside expert that would help us come to the conclusion of what the facts were, what truly happened, so we can make the right decision from there. We'll treat that seriously."

New allegations of sexual harassment against Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder have emerged during a congressional roundtable investigating the team's "toxic workplace" and what some members of Congress are calling the NFL's "cover-up."

Tiffani Johnston, a former marketing and events coordinator for Washington, told the committee that she was "strategically" placed next to Snyder at a work dinner "not to discuss business, but to allow him, Dan Snyder, to place his hand on my thigh under the table."

"I learned that job survival meant I should continue my conversation with another co-worker rather than call out Dan Snyder right then in the moment," Johnston continued. "I also learned later that evening how to awkwardly laugh when Dan Snyder aggressively pushed me toward his limo with his hand on my lower back, encouraging me to ride with him to my car. I learned how to continue to say no even though a situation was getting more awkward, uncomfortable and physical. I learned that the only reason Dan Snyder removed his hand from my back and stopped pushing me toward his limo was because his attorney intervened and said 'Dan, Dan, this is a bad idea. A very bad idea, Dan.' I learned that I should remove myself from Dan's grip while his attorney was distracting him."

In an emailed statement from the team, Snyder apologized again for past misconduct that took place in his organization but denied the new allegations.

The Washington Football Team will now be known as the Washington Commanders.

The team made an official announcement on Wednesday morning.
