Colts' Jim Irsay 'Happy' After Daniel Snyder Sells Commanders: 'I Think It's Great'

Aside from Washington Commanders' fans everywhere, there's one person that's particularly enthusiastic following Daniel Snyder's sell of the franchise.

And that person is longtime Indianapolis Colts' owner Jim Irsay.

Snyder completed the $6.05 billion sale—a record sum— to private equity investor Josh Harris on Thursday after NFL owners voted to approve the deal at a special session. Snyder purchased the franchise back in 1999.

Irsay did not try to hide his glee following the session.

"We're very happy," he told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

"I think it's great," he added later.
