The absolute last thing the league will want is to willingly allow an owner to snub his nose at the rest of the league simply because he has billions.

Musk isn’t bidding for Commies. The guy spent all his money on Twitter. Bezos can outbid the other billionaires. Also, those billionaires can wait for Seattle; the next team likely up for sale. Elon is valued at over 200 billion vs. Bezos's 120 billion. Even though he bought Twitter for 44 billion, 5 billion is probably chump change for him. He can outbid Bezos if he really wanted to buy the team. heck, he can probably buy the NFL! I would prefer a black owner though. i honestly think that would be awesome if Washington becomes the first NFL franchise to have a black owner. it would attract a lot of revenue as well as possible free agents, not to mention good quality coaches. heck, if that happens, I would not be surprised if Deion Sanders becomes a head coach for this team. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would changing the name bring the other owners any more money?...It's not like Bezos is gonna pay each owner $1billion to get the name changed. And decades of evidence shows that what will bring a franchise more money--and thus the league more money--is more winning...not a 4th new name in 5 years. An argument could be made that it loses them money in this situation. Edited November 3, 2022 by Califan007 The Constipated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. What you need to do is stick to talking about the topic in this thread instead - possible selling of the team that is. You can draw parallels to the Packers franchise but not talk about actual games though. There are plenty of other threads for that. Just a tip.

An argument could be made that it loses them money in this situation. The merchandising revenue is shared. One of the biggest events besides winning the Super Bowl in selling merchandise is new uniforms, new logo or a name change. We have been consistently near the top this year because of the name change in merch sales despite the fan apathy. Another name change would bring with it a ton of revenue for all the owners since they share it. I bought a crap load of Commanders stuff and it’s been less than a season. I am sure they would blowout new merch with another rebrand. No one would be losing money on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An argument could be made that it loses them money in this situation. Why would a new Washington owner have to pay the other owners a billion each in order to change the name? That doesn't make any sense. We went from Redskins, to WFT, to Commanders, in 3 years. I really doubt billions of dollars were lost in that transition. Seems like the biggest hurdle would be costs related to the existing inventory of merchandise, and perhaps marketing, that retailers/partners/sponsors incurred producing Commanders gear. If a new owner had to buy out the stock of existing merchandise before drawing up new contracts for a potential rebrand, it seems like that cost would be a drop in the bucket compared to the $6-8 billion required to buy the team in the first place. It's a complicated issue legally I bet, but I'm pretty sure if the new ownership group wants a new name, then we're getting a new name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than likely the new owner doesn’t take over until late spring; after the draft. So 23 will be a wash. It will be 24 when the new owner has his Gm and coach in place. We have to draft a qb, rebuild the online, fix the secondary, get some linebackers, etc… No, it will take 2-3 years once the new owners team is in place. I wouldn’t expect a contending team until 27. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
