The owner of the Washington Commanders was fined $10 million and told to hand day-to-day responsibilities to his wife, but he is still very involved in the decision-making process.

"Snyder is still far more involved running the club than most people realize, imploring football decision-makers last March to trade for quarterback Carson Wentz," according to a report from Don Van Natta Jr.

According to the report, the owner has told people close to him that he has collected dirt on other owners.

Private investigative firms were involved in some of the information he collected.

According to a report, the owner has told someone close to him that he has enough information to blow up the league, and that the owners hate each other.

One of the owners said that that was not true. The owners don't like Dan.

One of his owners said that he's backed into a corner. He's acting crazy.

The idea that Snyder has said these things and collected private information of other owners is nonsense, according to a Commanders spokesman.

Washington acquired the veteran quarterback from the Indianapolis Colts in March in exchange for multiple draft picks.

In Washington, he has struggled to regain the form that made him a contender for the Philadelphia Eagles' Most Valuable Player award. The team is off to a 1-4 start and he has completed 64.9% of his passes for 1,390 yards, 10 touchdown and six picks.

The poor start has been magnified by the fact that the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, and New York Giants are all at.500 or better.

When asked what the difference was between his team and the rest of the division, Rivera said, "Quarterback."

The team is playing catch-up five games into the season because of the quarterback acquisition.
