formerly4skins Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) So, understanding that Danny-boy is a small-minded, petty, vindictive, little turd of a man... Does anyone else feel like the whole "Bezos is barred from bidding" is just a not so transparent ruse to drive the sale price up? Like, if bids have come in around $5.5-$6 bil. from other bidders, with Bezos being "barred"...it stands to reason that if Bezos is going to bid anyways, he's being made to feel like his bid is really going to need to blow everyone else away. Feels like Dan @ Co. is just trying to push the price past the $7 bil. mark to me. Edited February 26, 2023 by formerly4skins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 100% believe there is zero chance he's letting Bezos get the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markmills67 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 OK, so if no Bezos, do any of the other potential Byers have around 1.8b or 30% cash to buy our Redskins? And also do they have the funds to be very active in FA when we need to be? If the answer is yes to both these questions I don't mind who buys the Redskins.

bowhunter Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I imagine Mr. Bezos would have no problem establishing a group to purchase the team and then buy them out immediately. Heck, he could have a deal in place with one of the current bidders now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 100% believe there is zero chance he's letting Bezos get the team. This. He’s that petty. I was thinking that a big reason he’s selling is the MJW report. He was told by the nfl what they have. Dan wasn’t worried that the nfl would try to use that to oust him, he’d fight that. Dan decided to sell because of the potential legal liabilities that the MJW report has in it. His brain was thinking, alright time to sell. I sell the team and those legal liabilities stay with the team and gets passed on to the new owner. That’s Dannyboy’s thinking. He can avoid any liabilities by selling. It wouldn’t shock me if my theory had a grain of truth in it. Dan’s selling not by choice but because of the MJW report and financial pressures being the other.

Panninho Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 It's been widely reported the other owners would love to have Bezos in their circle. We know Bezos has hired an investment firm to prepare a bid. With all due respect to Snyder's pettiness I don't think the NFL would allow that, especially if that would mean a lower price which would cost every other owner valuable $. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 In a normal situation all these leaks could just be viewed as trying to boost the sale price but for one thing. The pettiness of Dan Synder. From Kirk Cousins, Trent Williams, etc…. So, it wouldn’t be shocking Dan refuses to sell to Bezos or refuses to sell for less than 6 billion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I have no reason not to believe the Keim report that there’s already at least one bid for over $6M. If Bezos really is barred from swooping in and beating all bids at the last moment, then this should wrap up soon as the current bidders can be secure that their final bids are “real” and not just numbers for Bezos to laugh at right before they cross the finish line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshile Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Couple things: - I think snyders selling because he can’t afford the team any longer. He took out more debt to buy out the minority partners. And no one wants to be a minority partner with him now. Stadium. His whole wealth has been based on leveraging a team he’s drive down revenue on and it’s caught up with him. So “deciding not to sell” is not a realistic option in my opinion. - florio has over a decade long track record of “reporting” negative things about snyder or the team under his ownership. You cannot trust anything he says about it. Anything. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskinss Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I hope someone gets it for 5.5 billion and immediately turns around and sells it to bezos for 6.5 billion. That would be the ultimate **** you to the biggest asshole that ever graced us with his presence. 4 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be both. He’s barred from bidding until he’s given a chance to swoop in. That’s what I expect will happen. If it does it’s actually pretty impressive move by Dan.

Milstein was viewed as so vindictive and litigious that the NFL owners refused to approve him. They asked Dan to form his own bid and waived some of the financial requirements for Dan to become owner.

Not saying he would. Just curious. He stepped down as the CEO of Amazon a while ago. He would have zero problems getting voted in. Someone like Harris has far worse conflicts actually. Previously, the NFL did not allow owners to own teams in other sports. That’s the reason Jack Kent Cooke had to sell the Lakers to buy the Redskins. The NBA basically owned Thursday nights for a while on TNT. When the NFL announced the full season TNF package, the NBA was livid and some of the owners including Mark Cuban went off on the NFL. When the inevitable Friday night NFL package comes out and there is no doubt it will with the Black Friday game on Amazon this year being the first trial balloon, the NBA and NHL will be very opposed to it. That puts Harris in a conflict greater than anything Bezos has as chairman of Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
