Washington DC and NFL commanders are expected to announce an agreement on Monday to bring the team back to the city’s limits after a race of almost three decades in Landover, Maryland.
As reported by the Washington Post, the owner of the Josh Harris team and the Democrat mayor Muriel E. Bowser will hold a joint press conference on Monday morning to announce the agreement, the details of which have not yet been completely revealed. Dailymail.com contacted the team for confirmation.
A few weeks earlier, NBC Washington reported that commanders and DC approached an agreement on an agreement of $ 3 billion to bring the team to the RFK stadium site now derived. A familiar source with the talks stressed in Dailymail.com that no agreement had been concluded at that time, but described negotiations as “progress”.
Commanders have reported up to $ 2.5 billion in the agreement, while Washington DC is responsible for raising $ 850 million.
The team has been looking for a new stadium for several years, and this research has gone to a new level when Harris’s Group bought the commanders of the previous owner Dan Snyder in 2023. Locations in Washington, Virginia and Maryland have all been envisaged.

The next team house will be erected on the Anacostia seafront near the abandoned RFK stadium, where the team was then known as Redskins played from 1961 to 1996.

The lease of commanders at the Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland, ends until 2027. Harris called 2030 a “reasonable target” for a new stadium.
The team played at RFK Stadium, 2 km east of the Capitol, from 1961 to 1996 before moving to Maryland.
Harris and several co -owners, including Mitch Rales and Mark Ein, grew up as Washington football fans at that time, who included the glory days of three Super Bowl championships from 1982 to 1991.
