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.

The $ and stadium points are solid ones. Maybe Bezos objectively is a good candidate, I intellectually understand all the positive boxes he checks, part of me just have this hunch/fear that he also has the potential to be an ego freak who wants a big shiny toy.

Anyway we don't have a say, and won't know for sure what kind of owner(s) we get until we see him/them in action. And I wouldn't count him out yet, if he really wants this team he'll offer enough to get it, waiting to see what other bidders are ready to pay makes sense.
