The Washington Football Team named former NFL player Jason Wright their new president, making him the league's first Black team president.

"The transformation of the Washington Football Team is happening across all aspects of the organization – from football to operations to branding to culture – and will make us a truly modern and aspirational franchise," Wright said."We want to set new standards for the NFL." "If I could custom design a leader for this important time in our history, it would be Jason. His experience as a former player, coupled with his business acumen, gives him a perspective that is unrivaled in the league," Snyder said in a statement."We will not rest until we are a championship caliber team, on and off the field."
