Gist:

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers recently turned down a proposal to buy the franchise for a tick above the $6.05 billion that a group led by Josh Harris paid for the Washington Commanders last year, according to someone familiar with the details who was not authorized to speak publicly. If accepted, it would have set a record for the transaction of an NFL team and a global record for a control sale of a sports team.

The interest to acquire the two-time Super Bowl champions from the Glazer family came from someone deemed a “qualified buyer” in NFL parlance, i.e., they could write the check. Sportico wasn’t able to identify the potential buyer. The Buccaneers did not return requests for comment

I don't know what to say about this

If I had to make a guess as to who made the offer I'd speculate Bezos since he got outbid on the Commanders. But why the fuck would the Glazers sell? They're actually pretty solid owners, the franchise has been on an upwards trajectory for at least 6-7 years, and they make fucking bank off it.

They'd be more likely to offload Man U as they suck ass and the Glazers have virtually nothing to do with the team outside of writing checks.

For the mot part, the Brothers Glazer are pretty good owners. They stay out of the football part of it and seem to stay out of the press all together.
I feel the daughter (Marci?) is definitely the closest to the ole man in terms of business acumen.
