Jeff Bezos Remains on NFL Ownership Sidelines Even Amid Liverpool Deal

Even as Jeff Bezos invested in Liverpool, a Premier League soccer club, NFL team owners remain unconvinced he will pursue an ownership stake in a U.S. franchise, sources say. Bezos evaluated a potential bid for the Commanders but never made an actual bid before the team was sold to a group led by Josh Harris. Bezos was also not linked to the bidding for the Seahawks, which was sold to a group led by Vinod Khosla's family for a record $9.612 billion.

NFL owners have expressed interest in Bezos joining the league, but it appears he has chosen not to pursue an ownership role at this time.
