The team replaced offensive coordinator Scott Turner, who joined the team in 2020, with former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, who was also named assistant head coach.[1] An investment group led by Josh Harris reached a preliminary agreement with Commanders owner Daniel Snyder to purchase the team for $6.05 billion, the largest sales transaction for a sports franchise in history.

Ownership change

In 2023, a group led by American private equity investor and philanthropist Josh Harris reached an agreement with Commanders owner Daniel Snyder to purchase the team for $6.05 billion, the largest sales transaction for a sports franchise in history.[2] The group includes several limited partners and is expected to be ratified at a league meeting in late May.[2]
