When, almost a year ago, Jason Wright was hired as the Washington Football Team’s President, we were virtually assured two things would happen. First, like Vinnie Cerrato and Bruce Allen before him, Wright was going to be tasked with running interference for Dan Snyder and salvaging his reputation while it was at its nadir, having just come off dropping the team’s name and enduring another wave of allegations about having created a toxic organizational culture. I still contend that Wright was Roger Goodell’s hand-picked “fixer” - and final life-line for Snyder - offered in a “take him, or leave it (the NFL)” spirit as Goodell and the other owners grew weary of the undesirable attention Snyder’s actions were bringing to the league.
The Emperor’s New Tailor: Is Jason Wright talented enough to redeem Dan Snyder’s image?
