There have been reports that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is interested in buying an NFL team, those reports focused on the Washington Commanders. Now another team is in play.
According to Sports Illustrated NFL Insider Albert Breer, Jeff Bezos has as much if not more interest in buying the Seattle Seahawks than he does Washington.
Commanders owner Dan Snyder is reportedly looking to keep Bezos out of Washington. But that wouldn’t necessarily prevent Bezos from becoming an NFL owner, as many other NFL owners would reportedly welcome him into the league.
Breer adds that other NFL owners would “Love” to add Bezos, one of the richest people in the world, as an owner.
Bezos has been outspoken about his love for the game and his desire to become an NFL owner, and given his immense wealth and business acumen, it is no surprise that so many owners would be interested in having him join their ranks. If Snyder is successful in keeping Bezos out of Washington, it will be interesting to see if he’ll go after the Seahawks instead.
It was also recently reported that the sale of the Commanders will take place in March, according to the FOX Business Network.
