The Commanders could have a change in their ownership in 2023. Multiple reports say Dan Snyder is no longer interested in keeping the team and he’s listening offers for it.
In case Snyder decides to sell the Commanders, a NBA legend is ready to buy them. Magic Johnson, a 5-time NBA champion with the Los Angeles Lakers, wants to be the owner of the NFC East squad, Sportico reported.
The former point guard would join agroup led by 76ers and Devils co-owner Josh Harris in order to buy the Commanders. According to sources close to Johnson’s family, he would be providing “both money and expertise” in the bid.
This is not the first time Johnson tries to buy an NFL team. Last year, he was interested in the Denver Broncos, but he was outbid by theWalton-Penner group with a $4.65 billion offer.
