Jason Wright is no longer the Washington Commanders’ team president, according to a report by the Washington Post’s Nicki Jhabvala. He will leave the organization by the end of the 2024 season.
According to Jhabvala, Wright will remain in an advisory role before exiting the organization following the 2024 season. Commanders owner Josh Harris and Tad Brown, the CEO of Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, will lead the search for a new team president. Jason Wright and Josh Harris’ statements can be seen below:
Jason Wright: “I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished over the past four years. Together with an amazing team of professionals, we have taken this franchise through a period of immense challenge and uncertainty and have transformed it. We’ve set the table for an incredibly bright future under Josh’s leadership. Over just the past year, we’ve welcomed record numbers of fans back into our building, made meaningful improvements to the fan experience, re-engaged with corporate partners, and reconnected with the community. Most importantly, we re-established a culture of respect in this organization.
Given all those accomplishments, that’s why I am proud to announce that I will remain with the team throughout the 2024-2025 season, with the same responsibilities. In particular, I look forward to helping the organization complete its new stadium deal.
This feels like the right moment for me to explore my next leadership opportunity. I’m extremely grateful to my Commanders colleagues, our fans, and this community for all that we have accomplished these past four years, and am looking forward to the start of a very successful season for the Burgundy and Gold.”
Josh Harris: “Jason has made a remarkable impact on the Commanders organization since he joined four years ago. He stepped in at a time of immense challenge and has led this organization through an incredible transformation that set that stage for everything that is to come. I am extremely grateful to Jason for his partnership to me and the rest of the ownership group over the past year. His guidance has been invaluable and his leadership has helped reshape our culture. I want to thank him for his dedication to this team, our fans and the community.
I’m grateful to have his support through this transition period as we begin the process of finding the next president of this organization.”
