There's rumor that Jonathan Allen wants a trade....I hope not.
I think that is purely based on his media tirade after the Giants game. He will be due a new deal soon but he is one of 3 or 4 guys you want to build the team around, he was front and centre when the new ownership was introduced and I have a feeling Magic likes his attitude

Josh Harris ok’d a James Harden trade last night, what comes today? Talked w a bunch of people across league and Montez Sweat trade seems most likely, especially if new contract on table. Multiple teams interested w NFC South a major player. Also been told Cleveland chasing Brissett is real.

OK that is reaching for a story/link by Finlay. I guess he was a sooth sayer in a past life (I saw a seagull with a snake in its mouth that means Troy will win a great victory tomorrow).

Does anyone know how hands on the ownership is at this point. Does the current coaches & staff have full charge to make any trade they want or do the new owners have last say?

I'm pretty sure they are very hands on. Even if everything was going well for the team, a first-year owner with the experience of Josh Harris would be heavily involved in these types of decisions.

He tweeted it, he is the local reporter who has contacts in the organisation, key point being the Brisset to Cleveland thing is not just an internet fantasy. Also multiple teams interested in Sweat means price gets pushed up. As fot the rest, just an ad lib joke. Of course team sources could be making it up to encourage other bidders to get involved

I like JP and he's a very good source with connections with the team. I always look to Keim to validate any rumor, since he's been doing this much longer and is the most objective reporter in the local beat:

Per schefter:
Trade: Commanders and Bears have agreed to a trade that is expected to send DE Montez Sweat to the Chicago for a 2024 second-round pick, per sources. Sweat is in the last year of his contract, and the Commanders are opting for a draft pick now. Chicago beefs up its line.

Should be a high second rounder too, no mention of new deal though

If the season ended today, it would be the 35th overall pick.
