Former Washington star, LaVar Arrington believes longtime NFL owner Dan Snyder will sell the Commanders sooner rather than later … telling TMZ Sports a fresh start for the franchise is “certainly what’s needed.”

We spoke to LaVar about the future of the Commanders just days after Synder listed his Potomac home on the market for $49 million … and he thinks the billionaire’s movement on the real estate market means he’s looking to ditch the team.

“I would assume that means he’s not staying,” LaVar said.

The timing of Snyder listing his Maryland home for sale is pretty interesting … considering the team announced in November he was exploring a sale of the franchise.

Despite a lack of success on the field, Forbes reports the Commanders franchise is valued at $5.6 billion … and massive names like Jay-Z and Jeff Bezos are interested in buying the team.

So, we asked Arrington who he wants to own the team if Snyder sells, and the former linebacker told us, simply put — he wants someone who cares about the people within the organization.

“If you’re that person, and you can afford that price tag, then I hope and I pray that you’re able to get them.”

Of course, many have called for Snyder to sell the team for years … after the franchise was the center of multiple scandals, including workplace misconduct and creating a “toxic” culture.

Arrington — who spent six seasons playing for Washington — said the person who replaces Snyder has to have an understanding of self-identity and has to know how to value people … or they won’t have success.
