Dan Snyder could make things very interesting for a number of NFL owners if they rally against him.
According to a report from ESPN on Thursday, Dan Snyder claims to have “dirt” on NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and a number of team owners that could “blow up” the NFL. Not only that, Snyder is willing to leak the information if he is forced to sell the Washington Commanders.
Snyder has reportedly told those close to him, “They can’t f*ck with me.”
Snyder has reportedly used private investigative firms and other resources to gather information and secrets on the big dogs across the league that he hopes he can leverage in order to retain his franchise.
One of the biggest targets could be Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
From the report:
From me, @DVNJR and @tishaESPN, via 30+ sources
*Snyder has said his dirt on Goodell/owners from PIs could “blow up” NFL. “They can’t f— with me.”
*He’s “lost Jerry” Jones
*Goodell “wants Snyder gone,” per exec
*A novel removal method owners have discussedhttps://t.co/pzImP9bCr5— Seth Wickersham (@SethWickersham) October 13, 2022
One owner was told by Snyder directly that he “has dirt on Jerry Jones,” a team source told ESPN, though the nature of the information was unclear. Another source confirmed that Snyder has told a confidant that he has “a file” on Jones, the Dallas Cowboys owner who has served as Snyder’s friend, mentor and longtime firewall of support.
The report also mentions that Jones has told confidants that he “might not be able” to protect Snyder any longer.
What comes of this information remains to be seen, but we could definitely be in for a whirlwind of wild stories if the NFL owners come together in order to oust Snyder as the Commanders owner.
