On Thursday, July 20, 2023, the day the NFL approved the sale of the Washington Commanders to Josh Harris and the rest of his ownership group, Mike Richman appeared on “Grant & Danny” on 106.7 The Fan. The discussion centered on Richman’s recollections of Snyder’s early years owning the team, with Richman saying Snyder’s pursuit of the expensive, over-the-hill free agents like Deion Sanders, Bruce Smith and Jeff George in the 2000 offseason destroyed the chemistry of the 1999 team, which reached the second round of the playoffs and was likely Snyder’s best team in his 24-year ownership tenure of Washington’s football team. The worst of those acquisitions, Richman said, was mercurial quarterback Jeff George because it alienated quarterback Brad Johnson, who had a 4,000-yard passing season in `99.
