Seriously.

Haven't we had enough drama since 99?

We don't need another clown in charge.

I hope some billionaire I've never heard of buys the team.

I agree as well. Obviously anyone now who buys an NFL team is primarily looking for the status of it, but you just never know. Look at the moves the Panthers new owner has made...very Snyder like and very involved. I remember when Snyder bought this franchise and we all thought we were lucky because he was young and had grown up a Redskins fan and all he wanted to do was win. Maybe someone like Bezos would be good, because he's already famous and he would still have so much else going on that this would be just ONE of the many things that he would be involved with, and he'd hire a competent GM and let him run the team.

+1 on the "no well known celebrity douchebag owners" train. But somehow we gotta avoid the Teppers of the world too. It will be tough.

As I understand it he had put together a group for the Bronco's and then the Walton's came in. If true he would be the first Majority Black Owner in the NFL.

I’d be alright with Bezos. He’s not an unpredictable, self-conscious, attention-whore. Part of Musk’s business strategy has always been marketing himself alongside his companies. That’s not to say that he doesn’t run an effective organization, but consider Tesla: it doesn’t rank in the top ten of automakers by revenue, yet is the highest valued. The guy is great at selling a vision and forcing his face into everything he does. Bezos success is more about product and less about marketing and self-aggrandizement. He doesn’t feel the need to wave his dick around. In other words, there’s never drama with Bezos.

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.

We are so shell shocked by this current ownership

That's what an investment team is for.

Both went to super expensive private schools in DC as kids .... easiest way to get rich is to be born on 3rd base.

My brain is telling me this is to good to be true, its going to be a minority deal.

Also .. now that Dan Snyder is down in the dumps, seems to have social acceptance anxiety and now all the cool kids are ostrechizing him, under multiple criminal investigations .. I kinda feel bad for him.

He was just a super fan who made many mistakes as an owner but I always thought his intentions were good, to win a SB.

Dude he is a rotten human being, even if he won a SB here he is still a awful person.
