With Washington Commanders team owner Dan Snyder moving forward with plans to sell the franchise, it’s become clear that billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is interested in purchasing the Washington Commanders franchise. However, it’s become clear that Snyder would prefer not to sell to Bezos given a feud between the two – but it seems he would if the price is right.

According to a recent report from Theodore Schleifer of puck.news, Snyder would certainly be willing to accept a bid from Bezos if the offer was substantially more than anyone else. This information comes from an unnamed person “who knows Snyder well.”

“If you [expletive] tell me that Bezos puts in a bid that is $250 million more than anybody else and Dan won’t take it, you’re smoking dope,” the source told Schleifer. “Dan will give Bezos a piggyback ride around the building on opening day next year for $250 million, OK?”

Obviously, Jeff Bezos is one of the richest individuals on the planet, so it’s reasonable to think that he could outbid anybody for the team if he wanted to. So we’ll have to see if he ultimately decides to place a bid on that team that so large Snyder has no choice but to accept it.
