It was announced during the season that Washington Commanders' team president, Jason Wright, would no longer be with the organization after the conclusion of the season and that his role was changing as of July 2024.

There were many assumptions that Wright would find a new job before then, thus ending his employment with the Commanders prior to the end of the football season.

It didn't take long for Wright to find new employment, and less than a week after the conclusion of the season for Washington, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post shared details on the now-former president's new employment.
