Media personality and executive Byron Allen is readying a potential bid to purchase the Commanders, according to a report from Bloomberg.
The report comes on the heels of Wednesday’s news that current team owners Dan and Tanya Snyder have hired Bank of America as a possible precursor to selling the franchise. If Allen makes a successful bid, he would become the first Black majority team owner in NFL history.
Allen is working with a group of investors in the endeavor, according to Bloomberg sources. He has said that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and Patriots owner Robert Kraft approached him about bidding for the Broncos, who were sold earlier this year to a group led by Walmart heir Rob Walton for $4.65 billion.
