The $6.05 billion purchase of the Washington Commanders by an ownership group led by Josh Harris and Magic Johnson was unanimously approved by NFL owners on Thursday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The final price soars past the previous record for the most expensive NFL franchise, which was set when the Denver Broncos changed hands last August in a $4.65 billion transaction.
Commanders fans got the news they had wanted to hear for months when reports surfaced of an agreement between Harris' group and Washington's current owners, Dan and Tanya Snyder.
However, the saga was far from over.
