Are the results of the NFL’s investigation into Daniel Snyder coming soon?

It’s been another tough week for embattled Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder.

First, there was The Washington Post report Monday indicating that Snyder wanted indemnification from the NFL and other owners from future liabilities if he sells the team. Then, on Tuesday, Don Van Natta Jr. of ESPN dropped the bombshell report centering on Snyder and an alleged $55 million loan that caused the initial rift between him and his former co-owners.

Since writing his story, Van Natta has appeared on virtually every D.C. sports radio station or podcast over the last two days discussing his report. And in an appearance on the “Hoffman Show” on Team 980 with Craig Hoffman, Van Natta indicated more trouble could be coming for Snyder.

The NFL investigation into Snyder and the Commanders, led by former Securities and Exchange Commission chair and U.S. attorney Mary Jo White, could be finishing up soon.

“My understanding is the report is coming soon,” Van Natta said. “I’ve had a couple of sources tell me that.”

On Wednesday, Lisa Banks, one of the attorneys for the 40 former Commanders employees, was a guest on “Grant and Danny” on 106.7 The Fan and echoed a similar sentiment, per Grant Paulsen.

At this point, you wonder if the timing of these is strategic to keep the pressure on Snyder to sell. Or, perhaps, it’s just coincidental, as White’s investigation began over one year ago, in February 2022.

Regardless, this can’t be good news for Snyder.
