Re: Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team

I understand the counter points to that are: no one can be worst than Snyder ; he has proven he knows how to generate profit ; he'd have other business to do than pick a QB or even a coach... I'm just not sure those are guarantees.
I don't think how much money the guy has affects the amount he will meddle and start playing fantasy football with real players. After all, Snyder wasn't exactly loaded when he got here and that didn't stop him

The counter point that concerns me is what if they get bought by a guy/group who are leveraged to the extreme to buy the club but then don't have the cash to run it well, such as stadium costs and putting aside guaranteed money for players contracts. In theory the NFL should ensure that when they approve a new owner that that is not the case, but has me a little nervous. Besos was a good prospect from that perspective but Dans hatred of the Washington Post maybe be such that he will reject the opportunity to make an extra $0.5b.
