Washington Commanders president Jason Wright has confirmed the sale of the franchise will likely go ahead amid a number of eye-watering bids for the iconic NFC East team.
On Tuesday, a pair of bids of around $6billion were reportedly made for the Commanders without any further information regarding which would be accepted by current owner Daniel Snyder. Discussions about a vote to remove the controversial Snyder have taken place among NFL owners, only for the group to wait to see how a potential sale would unfold.
FrontOfficeSports.com recently claimed the bid by Josh Harris and Mitchell Rales’ group - which includes Los Angeles Lakers icon Magic Johnson - was the ‘only’ serious contender as the bid is backed by the money needed to survive the NFL’s vetting process. Their fully-financed bid matched Snyder’s asking price as Harris and co. have been laying the groundwork for an acquisition of the Commanders for some time.
