Jeff Bezos is believed to be the leading candidate to purchase the Washington Commanders, according to a report from the Washington Post. The Post is owned by Bezos.

The story indicates other potential buyers are preparing to be the fallback option in case Bezos bows out or sets a hard ceiling for what he is prepared to pay for the franchise. 

“Yes, I’ve heard that buzz,” Bezos said this week on CNN when asked about potentially buying the team.

“I do like football,” his girlfriend, Lauren Sanchez, interjected. “I’m just going to throw that out there for everyone.”

“There’s not much I can say about that right now,” Bezos said. “But she does like football.”

Dan Snyder reportedly wants $7 billion for the team and is not necessarily committed to selling the team.
