The Detroit Lions will remain in the Ford family.

There have been reports that Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos had interest in buying the team.

"We've been approached about interest in buying the team, but there's been no serious discussions," Lions president Rod Wood said. "And the Ford family plans to own the team and there's [succession] plans in place."

Wood declined to say what those plans were for future team ownership beyond 94-year-old Martha Ford, who took over ownership duties after her husband's death in 2014.

Her four children are all vice chairs of the team and make up the club's board of directors.
