You may recall that Jeff Bezos\u00a0had interest in purchasing\u00a0the Washington Commanders from\u00a0Dan Snyder, but they wound up selling the franchise to the Josh Harris-led group for $6.05 billion.<\/p>\n

There have also been rumors about Bezos potentially buying the Seattle Seahawks. Since Paul Allen\u2019s passing in 2018, the team has been run by his sister, Jody Allen.<\/p>\n

Speculation is growing about\u00a0New York Jets\u00a0owner Woody Johnson potentially selling the team as the Jets finish out another disastrous season. The Jets entered 2024 with Super Bowl expectations, but\u00a0Aaron Rodgers\u00a0and company have been a giant disappointment with a 3-8 record.<\/p>\n

According to Bovada, Jeff Bezos is now the betting favorite to purchase the Jets from Johnson and take over as their next owner. Johnson has owned the football organization since 2000.<\/p>\n
