Washington Commanders Rumors
Washington is given -300 odds, or an implied 75% chance to be the next sports franchise sold. The sale is expected to take place before the start of the next NFL season as well, with books given -220 odds, or an implied 68.8% chance that the team is sold prior to Week 1.
Of course, the Commanders may not even be the only NFL team up for sale. Questions about a potential sale of the Chicago Bears have been ringing for a few years now, and books have given +800 odds or an implied 11.1% chance that they’re sold next. Bezos's hometown Seattle Seahawks could go up for sale, as Jody Allen is still deciding what to do with her late brother’s sports franchises. Seattle has +900 odds, or an implied 10% chance to be the next franchise sold.
Washington Commanders Next Owner Rumors
If Steve Cohen has taught us anything it’s that buying the right team is more important than buying a team. After failing to purchase the Dodgers, Cohen was able to purchase his childhood team the New York Mets. Now Jeff Bezos finds himself in a similar situation. Could he pounce on the Commanders now knowing they’re likely to be the next team sold, or does he wait and see if his hometown Seahawks hit the market?
