New Reports Reveal Dan Snyder’s Say on Jeff Bezos as a $6,000,000,000 Commanders Sale Appears Imminent

Dan Snyder appears all set to part ways with Washington Commanders soon. But who will take over the franchise from him? Reports of many bids have come in and a sale worth over $6 billion appears imminent. Amid all that, a new report reveals the outgoing owner’s say on one of the interested parties, billionaire Jeff Bezos.

Snyder and Bezos have had a strained relationship due to the handling of the reports on the former by the latter-owned Washington Post. So will Snyder sell the franchise to Bezos if it comes to it? 

Dan Snyder softens on Jeff Bezos 

Dan Snyder might not be as hard on Jeff Bezos as far as the Commanders’ sale is concerned. According to Fox’s Charles Gasperino, the Commanders’ Owner will not reject a bid from Bezos if one comes forth. That is because Snyder knows that the owner of the Washington Post won’t have an editorial aspect to his role in the NFL.

Reports had earlier claimed that Snyder won’t entertain any bids from the third richest person in the world. Both the billionaires aren’t on good terms since the Post carried some damning reports on Snyder that put him in the crosshairs with the NFL. But it seems that the Commanders’ Owner is keeping business and personal separate.

The report comes as Snyder gets ready to accept bids for the struggling NFC East franchise. He is leaving after remaining at the helm for little less than two-and-a-half decades. But why exactly is he going away from the franchise he supported as a kid?

The Commanders fiasco

When Dan Snyder bought the Washington franchise in 1999, he wasn’t thinking of selling it in the future. He had taken over the team he grew up supporting. So why is he leaving now?

Snyder has seen his share of controversies that have surrounded him in the last few years. The NFL is investigating him for his role in the alleged sexual misconduct in the Commanders’ organization. Some owners want the investigation report to go public. The Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has even claimed that he knows the contents of the report. Roger Goodell has rubbished all the claims and clarified that the investigation is still ongoing.

It isn’t the NFL that wants Snyder to leave. It might be that he just wants to get away from the limelight of being an NFL franchise owner. And who could blame him for the kind of bids that have come in? Two bids worth $6 billion have already gone in. If the sale goes through, it will be the biggest one in NFL history. Will Jeff Bezos enter the bidding? Who will be the next owner of the iconic Washington franchise? Do tell us in the comments.
