Can he afford it though? The NFL requires owners to put down 30% for a team. If the team sells for $6B, that means he would need $1.8B in cash. His net worth is estimated at "only" $800M. Even if he cashed out, he still wouldn't be half way there. I can see him being a minority owner, but I seriously question if he can afford to buy this team. He would have to convince an awful lot of people to put down an awful lot of money to just be minority owners.

That's what an investment team is for.

He wasn't able to raise enough to buy the Broncos. Washington would sell for $2B more. Not happening.

I'm sure he's already been back to the drawing board to bring in more $$. Everyone knows this team is going for top dollar.

The price isn't what normally scares investors away its the ROI.

If $5B in DEN only brings me back $6B but $7B in WAS brings me back $10B; I am spending the extra money for more money down the road.

Good point, this team is a totally different story than Denver.

This market is a sleeping giant.
