Kevin Durant Wants to Join Commanders' Ownership Group; Franchise Could Sell for $7B

Kevin would like to claim a stake in the Washington Commanders should Dan and Tanya sell the football team.

He told Friedell that he would be a part of it. I'd love to do it. I would like to be a part of the Commanders, but I don't know if I will be able to. I hope it's nice. You never know, I heard Bezos and Jay-Z.

According to Ian Rapoport, the Commanders could be worth as much as $7 billion.

On the #Commanders possible sale: My understanding is that number could reach $7B with a timeline of the March league meeting if all goes well. https://t.co/qWa4LxE0zy

Friedell was told by the 12-time All-Star that he's excited as a fan for the Commanders' future.

He said that they drafted well the last few years. You can win football games with some foundation pieces. It's an attractive destination.

BofA Securities was hired to look into the possible sale of the Commanders.

Fans have been calling for an ownership change for a long time, and the dissent has reached a feverish pitch.

The Commanders were the subject of an investigation into their workplace atmosphere in 2021. According to Don Van Natta Jr., prosecutors were looking into financial improprieties.

An earlier report from ESPN cast serious doubt on how much support the other owners of the National Football League enjoy. Irsay was the first to call for his removal.

Even if the Commanders are put up for sale, the Snyders wouldn't have a hard time finding a new owner.

According to People's Charlotte Triggs, Bezos may be interested in Jay-Z joining his group. The founder of Entertainment Studios is preparing to make a bid.

This wouldn't be his first attempt at sports ownership. He became a minority investor in the NWSL's NJ/NY Gotham FC in May, after buying a five percent stake in the MLS' Philadelphia Union.
