Lawyers for former Washington employees threaten to sue the NFL if they gave Dan Snyder access to names of accusers

ESPN published a very long, detailed report on Dan Snyder, and his efforts to keep his ownership stake in the Washington Commanders on Thursday morning, the day the team played their first primetime game with their newest name. There was a treasure trove of new information, and more details on things that had already been reported. One of those has cause lawyers for 40+ former employees of the Washington franchise to sue the NFL.

Snyder used the Wilkinson investigation as “a tip sheet” for his law firms, according to multiple legal and team sources. “The list of people who opposed him became his enemies list,” a former Washington executive says.
