May 25, 2022 9:07 AM

Roger Goodell says he isn't aware of persistent reports that other NFL owners would like to force Dan Snyder to sell the Washington Commanders.

"I'm not aware of that at all," Goodell said Tuesday.

Recent reports state that some owners are counting votes to see if they could get the necessary three-fourths majority to force a sale of the Commanders.

Source: Commanders Spend $100M On Land In Virginia

May 24, 2022 9:32 AM

The Washington Commanders paid more than $100 million for land in Virginia, according to a source.

The 200-acre purchase is a possible next step in building a new stadium, as well as retail shops, restaurants and apartments.

The deal was completed late last week, but has not yet been filed with Prince William County, the site of the land. One source called it the Commanders' preferred site for a new stadium, but other options remain open.

Carson Wentz 'Trying Not To Get Too Excited' For Return To Philly

May 13, 2022 8:50 AM

Carson Wentz will play four emotional games in his first season with the Washington Commanders in 2022.

The Commanders will open the season against the Jacksonville Jaguars and Doug Pederson, who was Wentz's first NFL coach.

Washington will also play the Philadelphia Eagles twice and the Indianapolis Colts once.

The Commanders will host the Eagles in Week 3 and travel to Philadelphia in Week 10.

"I know that'll be a big game. A lot of emotions," Wentz said. "I'm sure fans will eat that one up and it'll be fun — make for a good storyline. But at the end of the day, it's going to be just another ballgame. It's going to be a huge divisional game for us when that one comes. So I'm excited for it, but at the same time, I'm trying not to get too excited for that one, because, again, it's just football. Can't press. Can't do too much."
