{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Washington Commanders team owner Dan Snyder announced ahead of the team’s Week 9 matchup that he hired Bank of America "to consider potential transactions" for the organization.

Glazer said the deal would be to sell the entire stake, not just a percentage.
"It’s to sell the entire team," Glazer said. "What I’m being told is, the asking price is gonna go for about $7 billion. The other interesting part is the timeline. This is not going to be a long, drawn-out process. I’m told the hope is to have this done within the next six months and actually have it finalized by the NFL owners meeting next March."

Walmart CEO Rob Walton led a group to purchase the Denver Broncos earlier this year for $4.65 billion.
If Bezos became an owner, his estimated net worth near $113 billion would jump Walton and he would claim the title of the league's wealthiest owner.
