The NFL's finance committee took its first detailed look at Josh Harris' bid to buy the Washington Commanders on Wednesday and came away with concerns, the Washington Post reports.
A source told the Post that questions were raised during the meeting about the"unusually large number of limited partners" involved in Harris' tentative bid to purchase the franchise from Dan Snyder. Perno ownership group is allowed to exceed 25 partners. It's unclear if Harris' group approaches or exceeds that number.
The Post cited three sources familiar with the NFL's inner workings that told the paper that the committee's reservations don't mean that the deal will be rejected; but that it is"increasingly unlikely" that franchise owners will be able to approve the deal at their their May 22-23 meeting in Minneapolis as previously hoped. The next scheduled owners meetings are slated for October.
