Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has no current plans to enter the bidding for the Washington Commanders, potentially clearing the way for a group led by Josh Harris to attempt to complete a deal to purchase the franchise from owner Daniel Snyder.
on the Commanders, two people with knowledge of that relationship have said. But Snyder previously blocked Bezos from moving forward on any efforts to purchase the franchise because of his disdain for The Post and its coverage of him and his team, a person familiar with the situation said in February.
Any sale would have to be approved by at least 24 of the 32 owners leaguewide. The owners next are scheduled to meet next month in Minneapolis. Bezos still could opt to reverse course, particularly if any deal struck by Snyder is not acceptable to other NFL team owners, but Wednesday’s indication that he is not planning to bid could signal that the sale deliberations are in the final stages. One person with knowledge of the process said Snyder appeared to be attempting to use the potential of a Bezos bid to increase the price for Harris’s group.Forbes estimated the value of the Commanders last year at $5.6 billion.
