They have to pretend to have an open mind going into the hearing if it got to that point which it won’t. I dunno - there's something to be said for the suggestion that the owners are afraid to vote anyone out of the "club" because of the precedent it would set. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 All that's gonna to happen at the March owners meeting is an update on the sale, if Dan hasn't reached a sale then. The NFL won't do anything against Dan at these meetings. Now, at the May meetings if there's no sale; they may force a removal vote. I think they will give him time to see what happens. They probably want to see if Bezos bids or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, yeah that’s technically correct. But if you wanted to buy a house for 1mil in a neighborhood that rarely has houses on the market (like one every 10 years) and your net worth was 20 million, you think you’re going to drop out of the bidding if it’s going to cost 1.2? We’re talking about a guy who has a net worth 20 times the potential sales price here. Edited March 13, 2023 by seantaylor=god 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re talking about a guy who has a net worth 20 times the potential sales price here. I think you misunderstood what spearfather meant. If you believe this house is worth 1M are you gonna spend 1.5 or 2M on it even if you're worth 50M? Usually you don't became a billionaire spending that kind of money so easily. The fact that he can spend 6 Billion on buying the team doesn't mean he wants to do it if he believes the team is worth 5 at best and the highest bid is already at 5.6 or something. Nobody's questioning the fact that he can do it, all that remains to be seen he does he want to do it.Signing NDA means he's in the process and can get access to better info. It's in no way an insurance he'll get the team. If he's determinted to buy the team no matter what, then it'll be his, no doubt. But we have no clue about his determination. 2 hours ago, Koolblue13 said: I wouldn't read too much into it. Selling isn't done yet, bids are still ongoing, so that's just casual business for the team so far, and nothing any future owner couldn't absorb in any way within the team's salary cap, so I doubt it's related to anything here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think I misunderstand. He was asked about his interest in a team, and he made it clear he was interested. All NFL teams are good investments (look at how values have changed over the last 10 years, even for poor ones). It’s definitely possible he doesn’t really want to buy a team, but there have been no public indications of that and he has so much money that he could buy the team and not even need it to generate revenue. I can’t read his mind, so I can’t say that he wants to buy it. But he has no reason to act like he does, and go through the motions, if he isn’t seriously considering it. We are talking about a guy worth 20 times the purchase price. Again, this is like someone with a net worth of 100k, who really wants to buy a particular rare car, one of 32 in the world, that is only available for sale every 10 years, and y saying he may not buy it because it’s for sale for $5,700 and he thinks it’s worth $5,000. It just doesn’t make sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re talking about a guy who has a net worth 20 times the potential sales price here. It happens more often than you are making it seem...just since 2010 the Rams, Jags, Browns, Bills, Panthers, Broncos, and Commanders have gone up for sale. It's also believed that the Seahawks will in the next year or 2. But even taking them away, that's 7 teams in 13 years. That's not exactly "one every 10 years" like you state. Even going back further...from 1999 through 2008, there were 5 teams that became available (Texans, Redskins, Jets, Ravens, and Dolphins). So, it's not even like the past decade is an outlier. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

actorguy1 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Just trying to make it to this weekend. Sunday will be one week to the owners meeting. Assuming an announcement would need to be made before the 26th then anytime after this weekend is a real possibility to announce a bid has been accepted.
