The Redskins’ three minority owners, who reportedly represent about 40 percent of the team’s owning group, are actively trying to sell their stakes in the club.
Now if those three carry on, which can be difficult, there are plenty of well-known Washington fans that could be interesting replacements, even if they buy just a small slice of what the trio is looking to convey. .
Take a look at the list below to see a handful of the flashiest names that would absolutely attract headlines.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
One of the most popular NASCAR drivers of all time is now working as an analyst for NBC. He has been a fan since he was nine years old and has a positive relationship with Dan Snyder. Plus, he’s already used to pressure-filled Sundays.
Matthew McConaughey
Here’s another mega celebrity and longtime fan of Burgundy and Gold, who is also Snyder’s personal friend. Perhaps you would like to add some soccer hardware to your already crowded trophy case.
Kevin Durant
Durant is one of the best ballet players in the world, and with how huge the NBA contracts are, as well as all the endorsements he’s gotten along the way, you have to think he has some extra cash for the Redskins if so he wants it.
Also, becoming a co-owner of an NFL team would be something that could control enemies like Draymond Green and Kendrick Perkins.

Wale
The famous rapper just presented part of the Redskins’ virtual programming during Draft 2020, and is close to the QB Dwayne Haskins. He could be next on the long list of artists / musicians who have dabbled in sports property.
Taraji P. Henson
the Hidden Figures and Empire The actress’s father once worked as a janitor for Washington, and she has been a supporter of the squad for quite some time. Buying them could be a nice thing to add to your real-life empire.
Joe Gibbs
Gibbs is not exactly a pop culture icon like any of the above names, but he is a DC icon and it would be foolish to exclude him from a list like this. Snyder has understandably revered Gibbs for essentially his entire life and has trusted him often in the past.
If Gibbs wanted to get involved with the Redskins again, he must believe that Snyder would be delighted.
Alexis Ohanian
Ohanian, who co-founded Reddit and sold it in 2006, has been devoted to the Redskins since the late 1980s. He has attended many contests in his fan career. So why not transition from stadium seating to the owner’s box?
