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
