WASHINGTON - With D.C. Council yet to approve the RFK stadium redevelopment plan, speculation is growing over whether the Commanders could stay in Maryland or move to Virginia.

What we know:

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore confirmed the state's agreement with the team to redevelop its current site in Prince George’s County but said Maryland is not involved in negotiations between D.C., the Commanders or the White House.

Virginia has shown previous interest, floating potential sites in Loudoun and Prince William counties near the team’s training facility. Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s office did not respond to a request for comment on whether the Commonwealth is preparing a renewed pitch.
