Report: Daniel Snyder Has Received Offers 'Well North' of $7B for Commanders

The Washington Commanders are well on their way to selling for a record price if Daniel Snyder leaves the team.

There are offers of $7 billion, according to Mike Ozanian. It is widely believed that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos will make a bid, and that if he wants the team, he will get it.

The Denver Broncos sold for $4.75 billion in August, which was the largest sale price for a North American sports team.

When the team released a statement saying it retained Bank of America Securities to consider potential transactions, the idea of selling the Commanders picked up a lot of steam.

The franchise has been involved in a number of headlines not related to the team's performance.

The NFL took control of the proceedings after Washington hired a lawyer to investigate its workplace culture. The Commanders were fined $10 million and the wife of Daniel was ordered to assume day-to-day operations.

The investigation uncovered a culture of sexual harassment and other forms of discrimination.

In October, a group of people, including Don Van Natta Jr. and Tisha Thompson, reported that a number of other owners had hired private investigators to look into their finances.

There were themes of blackmail and mutually assured destruction in the report, as well as the fact that the franchise would not be lost without a fight.

Mary Jo White is leading the second investigation into the franchise according to Don Van Natta Jr. There is an allegation of sexual assault on a plane in 2009.

The Commanders' workplace culture was investigated by the House Committee on Oversight and Reform. The Washington Post, Yahoo News, and Mark Maske of the New York Times all reported on the findings of the toxicity study.

The report said that Mr. Snyder tried to interfere with the investigation. Mr. Snyder assailed witnesses, refused to release former employees from their confidentiality obligations, and blocked the Committee's access to tens of thousands of documents collected during the investigation.

It seems as if the Commanders are going to sell for more money than the previous record for a North American sports team.
