Alright, Alright Alright: McConaughey Interested In Joining Bezos's Commanders Bid: Report

ASHBURN, VA — Actor Matthew McConaughey is interested in purchasing the Washington Commanders, the New York Post reported. McConaughey would join a bid alongside Amazon owner Jeff Bezos and rapper Jay-Z.

McConaughey has been a fan of the team since he was 4 years old. The franchise previously noted that he attended the final game at RFK Stadium, the first game at Jack Kent Cooke Stadium, and the first game at FedEx Field.

McConaughey has previous experience as a team owner. In 2019, he became a part-owner of Major League Soccer's Austin FC.

Last week, Commanders owner Dan Snyder announced that he hired Bank of America Securities to handle a potential sale of the team. In the past seven days, several celebrities, including Bezos and Jay-Z, have expressed their interest in bidding on the team.

Over the weekend, NBA start and Maryland native Kevin Durant said he would be interested in joining a bid for the Commanders. Meanwhile, media mogul Byron Allen and billionaire Mat Ishbia are reportedly interested in purchasing the franchise, as well. Allen and Ishbia both unsuccessfully bid on the NFL's Denver Broncos earlier this year.

On Sunday morning, Jay Glazer of FOX Sports reported the Commanders could sell for up to $7 billion. Glazer noted the sale could be completed in the next six months. The sale could be finalized at the NFL's annual league meetings beginning on March 26, 2023.

In August, Forbes estimated the Commanders were worth $5.6 billion, ranking sixth among the NFL's 32 teams. Snyder purchased the Commanders in 1999 for $800 million after the death of former owner Jack Kent Cooke.

Snyder's tenure has been embroiled with controversy, especially since 2020. Most recently, a fellow NFL owner told reporters the league needed to consider removing Snyder after accusations of sexual misconduct, financial impropriety, and a hostile workplace.

Snyder is being investigated by the NFL and the House Committee on Oversight and Reform. The results of both investigations are still pending.
