ASHBURN, Va. — As the Commanders prepare for a new season with a lot of new faces on the field, another piece of the team's front office has been put into place.
The team announced Monday that Brandon Sosna has been named its senior vice president of football operations. Sosna will be the club’s lead contract negotiator, oversee a number of football operations departments, including analytics, health and performance and football administration and will be one of the club’s liaisons to the business operation. He will also play a major role in strategy around roster construction, the salary cap and the CBA.
He comes to the Commanders after working with the Detroit Lions for two years.
“We are excited to welcome Brandon Sosna to the Washington Commanders,” said Commanders GM Adam Peters. “Brandon was a key addition to Brad Holmes’ staff in 2022 and played a vital role in assisting the Lions in their roster construction these past two seasons. His expertise on the salary cap and in contract negotiations along with his well-rounded skillset developed through his unique career across the NFL and collegiate athletics makes him a great fit for the front office we are building here in Washington. I’d like to thank the Detroit Lions organization and specifically, President Rod Wood who was first-class in how he handled the process of getting Brandon to Washington. Brandon is a home run hire, and we are thrilled to welcome him to the DMV.”
Before joining the Lions, Sosna held a front office position with the University of Southern California, and has also worked with the University of Cincinnati and the Cleveland Browns.
Sosna was named to Forbes' "30 Under 30" list in 2020 and Sports Business Journal's "New Voices Under 30" list in 2019. He also received the Front Office Sports Rising 25 Award in 2017.
