Dan Snyder, Jerry Jones have 'long relationship' as allies
A wide-ranging ESPN report about Dan Snyder points to a rift between the Washington Commanders owner and longtime confidant Jerry Jones
Dan Snyder largely kept a low profile for several months, skipping Washington’s annual welcome home luncheon and allowing wife Tanya to be the face of the ownership for the Commanders.
Then came his team’s visit to Dallas. Snyder was front and center on the star at the 50-yard line meeting and talking with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Amid ongoing investigations by Congress and the NFL, Snyder looked most comfortable surrounded by Jones, Tanya and Commanders president Jason Wright.
They posed for a photo on the field and Washington’s Twitter account posted it with the message, “Friends and rivals for 24 years.”
That remains the case. Though this week's ESPN story signaled a rift between the longtime confidants, their unique friendship has stood the test of time and Jones’ support remains one of the biggest reasons Snyder maintains control in Washington while his organization is engulfed in off-field scandals.
