BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — NFL owners unanimously approve $6.05 billion sale of Washington Commanders from Dan Snyder to a group led by Philadelphia 76ers' owner Josh Harris and Magic Johnson.

All 32 team owners voted for the sale, which is the highest price paid for a North American professional sports team. After the finance committee approved the agreement with the new ownership group, Harris Blitzer Sports and Entertainment, a special league meeting was called to consider and vote on it before the 2023 season begins.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones beamed as he walked off an escalator and headed toward the meeting room, granting a brief interview with reporters about the impending sale of his team's division rival.
