Washington Commanders team president Jason Wright almost landed a new job. According to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports, Wright was a finalist for the Green Bay Packers president and CEO position.
The move would’ve represented a step up for Wright as the Packers are the NFL’s only publicly-owned, nonprofit organization, meaning he would’ve essentially operated as owner.
The Packers hired Ed Policy, who had been with the organization since 2012. Policy first served as Green Bay’s vice president and general counsel before he was promoted to COO in 2018.
