NFL lacks votes to force Commanders sale; Bezos may enter bid: sources

Meanwhile, Snyder nemesis Jeff Bezos recently signed a confidentiality agreement, signaling he may finally be allowed to enter the bidding process, sources close to Bezos told The Post. It was not clear whether Bezos inked the confidentiality pact with Snyder or the NFL.Getty Images The Commanders recently told the NFL there are “multiple bidders” whom the league will “love” and that the sales price “is looking good,” according to the Washington Post.
