ASHBURN, Va. — Jason Wright, the first Black team president in NFL history, will no longer serve in that role and will leave the Washington Commanders after the season, a team spokesperson confirmed.

He'll serve as a senior adviser until his departure. Wright will continue to focus on securing naming rights for the stadium as well as helping in finding a new stadium site.

But there will be an immediate search for a new president, led by majority owner Josh Harris and Tad Brown, the CEO of Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment.

Former owner Dan Snyder hired Wright in August 2020, based in large part on the recommendation of the league, per multiple sources.

Two other power conferences, the ACC and Big 12, are in an odd state, clearly ahead of the rest of the pack but far behind the Power 2 from a revenue standpoint.
