Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay wants to talk to other owners about the possibility of ousting the Washington Commanders' owner.
Two months ago, Irsay said there was merit in removing the Washington franchise's owner. The House Committee on Oversight and Reform released a report last week that was critical of the team and the league.
After attending the league's December meetings, Irsay said he wouldn't vote him out. I need to hear more from my partner. The key is getting more information about everything.
The league has been investigating allegations of sexual misconduct and financial impropriety, and the status of the coach has been a topic of debate for a long time.
Attorney Mary Jo White is working on a report for the commissioner. The report accused the league of misleading the public over investigations of the Washington franchise and not holding people accountable.
"My name has been on this from the beginning.'' There were people talking about secret agreements. The agreements are not secret. These are legal documents that we explained.
The Snyders revealed last month that they are looking at a sale but didn't say if it would be for all of the team. There hasn't been an update from the league on the intent of the buyers.
Irsay thinks that would be a better solution.
The Commanders said that Irsay would see no reason for them to sell the team once he saw all the evidence.
Irsay said there was no discussion of when the other owners would meet. He preferred a meeting with no one present.
Irsay said that he was only interested in finding out more because there was a lot of concern. Give it thought or look at it. I didn't say I would vote him out. It's a huge deal. We won't know what the new year will bring.
The meetings Wednesday were also discussed.
Troy Vincent, the league's executive vice president, expressed caution about how such rulings would be enforced.
The changes would have to be weighed against the length of games and other factors, according toVincent.
The Colts will have to open the hiring process for a coach after they fired Frank Reich and replaced him with Jeff Saturday, even though the former center had no previous coaching experience.
Art Rooney, whose father, Dan Rooney, was the founder of the "Rooney Rule'' promoting diversity in hiring for head coaches, said the league couldn't control interim coaches but would require the Colts to follow those requirements after the season.
The coach search was something Irsay looked forward to.
The owners of the Buffalo Bills unanimously approved a 30-year lease for a new stadium that will be built across the street from the current facility.
State and county governments are committed to spending $850 million on the project and the Bills are in the process of finishing other parts of the agreement.
