A former Duke basketball player, and DC United minority owner, Brian Davis, had a $7 billion offer to buy Washington Commanders. But, it was rejected by Magic Johnson’s, a former NBA player, $6 billion bid. Davis claimed that he has the funds to purchase the team and has offered Snyder $1 billion upfront, with the rest paid within two days. However, it seems that this deal has finally come to an end. But why is Snyder not ready to deal with Davis, even with a higher amount?

There are rumors that Jeff Bezos may be funding Brian Davis as a backdoor to bid for the Commanders. However, Bezos is reportedly not bidding himself, as per a report by ‘WUSA9’, and there is a feeling within his camp that he has been used to drive up the bidding. Last week, Josh Harris was the primary bidder, but Steve Apostolopoulos and Bezos were also mentioned. Davis is reportedly trying to put together a voltage regulator to get the Commanders away from Josh Harrison.
