The owner of the NFL team Washington Commanders is on the verge of selling the team. Team owner Daniel Snyder announced earlier this week that he is looking for potential buyers to sell the team. With already some big names in the conversation for the team’s acquisition, actor Matthew McConaughey seems to be the latest addition to the list of potential buyers.

Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant was the most recent name who had shown interest in being part of the ownership group. Some other names like Jeff Bezos and Jay-Z were already in the mix.

Another big name in the mix

And now the latest person to be linked in being part of the new ownership is actor Matthew McConaughey. McConaughey, who is a longtime fan of the Washington Commanders is eager to join the ownership group.

McConaughey has been close friends with Daniel Snyder. During the super bowl last year, McConaughey was reportedly on Snyder’s yacht. He clearly has strong ties with Washington’s NFL franchise.

According to reports, the team could be sold for $7 billion. Kevin Durant made a statement while talking to ESPN. He said, “In a perfect world, I would be a part of it. I would love to do it. I would love to give a little bit of my money to be a part of the Commanders, but we’ll see. Hopefully, it’s somebody nice. I heard [Amazon CEO Jeff] Bezos and Jay-Z, but you never know.”

Kevin Durant was surprised to hear that Daniel Snyder, the current owner of the Washington Commanders was on the verge of selling the team. Snyder has been part of an ongoing investigation that has forced him to sell the team. Even though fans were excited to see McConaughey show interest, there seemed to be some mixed reactions.

Fans seemed confused as to why Jeff Bezos needed other partners to take over the team. One fan tweeted, “Bezos could buy the team by himself with the change in between his couch cushions.” Another fan commented, “McConaughey is the GOAT. This would be amazing.”
