According to a Pro Football Weekly article by Eric Edholm, Redskins owner Daniel Snyder is not in the forefront of the NFL's labor negotiations but he is still an active part in the negotiations as a part of what Edholm called "the second wave. Here is how Snyder's role was described.
Redskins owner Daniel Snyder — As one of the NFL's richer and more well-known owners, running the NFL's second-most profitable franchise, Snyder automatically qualifies as a prominent voice. He might have his share of detractors at times, but Snyder's unquestioned business sense and ice-cold, unemotional instincts have a place in the negotiation process, as far as the other owners are concerned. (Translation: He doesn't mind being the bad guy at times.)The article also said that Snyder has a degree of respect among the owners because he's a self-made millionaire who knows how to cut a deal. It also is noted that general manager Bruce Allen has been playing an active role in the talks lately. The article is worth a look.
