The owners of Washington Wolfpack always pledge to be focused on transparency and honesty with you. The concept of #onecommunity is truly built on the philosophy that our players, coaches, staff, sponsors, fans and neighbors are part of this organization.
After the Arena Football League reformed in 2023, teams including ours were promised player salaries and team travel to away games- paid by the league. Under Commissioner Lee Hutton III, the AFL failed to provide a single dollar towards these expenses for the Washington Wolfpack. The Commissioner communicated through the first several weeks of the season how the league would still honor the payments owed to its teams. Regardless, our ownership group decided to pay our players in good faith and pressured the Arena Football League to honor its obligations.
On May 14th 2024, our Washington Wolfpack joined nine other AFL teams to unanimously support and appoint Jeff Fisher as Interim Commissioner of our league. We are optimistic about this and other Arena Football League changes moving forward, but we- along with teams across the country have not been immune to the impacts of the season’s first three weeks. Here are OUR updates to you:
Schedule
Interim Commissioner Fisher is working diligently with the remaining teams on a schedule for the remainder of the season. This week, we are fortunate to play the Oregon Blackbears on Saturday in the Wolves Den. Until we are able to finalize the remainder of our AFL schedule, we ask for your patience and continued support.
Player Compensation
The Wolfpack Has not forgotten, but has been able to absorb the impact of the former league leadership’s refusal to compensate player salaries. we need to revise our model moving forward. Our current player roster has been offered a revised compensation structure that we feel is competitive with indoor football, although reduced from salary levels initially proposed at the start of the season. Our players have been distressed by the withholding of these league payments to its players. It is an unfortunate decision, but one that we feel will help guide our team forward for the remainder of this season and many MORE to come.
Future of Our Team
The future of the Washington Wolfpack Football is extremely bright. We believe in our fans and sponsors, and also in Jeff Fisher leading the league. We as owners, players, coaches, and staff are fully committed to helping the vision of the Arena Football League moving forward.
