Josh Harris partnered with defense contracting tycoon Mitchell Rales and NBA legend Magic Johnson to submit the $6 billion bid, sources said.
Billionaire Dan Snyder has received a $6 billion buyout offer for the Washington Commanders NFL franchise — a sum that reportedly meets his asking price and surpasses a rival bid separately submitted in recent weeks, The Post has learned.
Josh Harris — the Wall Street mogul who owns the Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Devils — partnered with defense contracting tycoon Mitchell Rales and NBA legend Magic Johnson to submit the $6 billion bid, sources said. That’s above a $5.6 billion bid that was submitted in recent weeks by Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta, who signaled at the time to Snyder’s camp his offer was final and that he was not willing to go higher, according to sources close to the negotiations.
Some insiders speculated that Harris’ bid might have conditions attached such that it doesn’t amount to a cash guarantee for $6 billion — a sum that would break last year’s NFL record price of $4.65 billion when Walmart heir Rob Walton bought the Denver Broncos.A spokesperson for Fertitta couldn’t immediately be reached.Bloomberg via Getty Images
