Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has hired an investment firm as he looks into a potential purchase of the Commanders franchise, according to a report from The Washington Post.
Bezos has employed Allen & Company, which is a New York-based investment firm that specializes in transactions involving sports franchises. Per the report, the hiring of Allen & Company represents a “concrete sign” of Bezos’s interest in a potential purchase, as he is clearly conducting due diligence on a potential transaction.
Allen & Company was involved in two of the most recent sales involving NFL franchises: the Panthers in 2018 and the Broncos in ’22.
