EAGAN, Minn. — By 11:38 a.m. Monday, the door to the Hammond conference room was open.
Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay had already vacated the room that hosted the NFL finance committee’s roughly 90-minute gathering. New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft was now emerging after a doorway conversation with Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie. Commissioner Roger Goodell strolled out not far behind them.
This was the committee’s first in-person meeting since the Washington Commanders reached a purchase and sale agreement with a partnership group led by Josh Harris.
