Jason Wright still optimistic Commanders will be at new stadium by 2027 despite setbacks in search

LANDOVER, Md. — Washington Commanders president Jason Wright said Saturday he believes the franchise will still be able to take up residence at a new stadium before FedEx Field’s lease expires in 2027, despite the setbacks to the team’s search in recent months.

In June, Virginia lawmakers tabled a bill that would have paved the way to lure the Commanders to the Old Dominion. The Burgundy and Gold had been eyeing a site in Woodbridge, but lawmakers indicated there were too many issues to proceed.

The Commanders have also explored staying in Maryland or moving back to the District.
