Landover, Maryland - The billionaire businessmen, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and hip-hop icon Jay-Z, are reportedly interested in forming a partnership to purchase the Washington Commanders franchise.

On Wednesday, the Commanders announced that sole team owners Dan and Tanya Snyder hired Bank of America Securities "to consider potential transactions" for the NFL franchise, as Dan remains embroiled in scandal.

It is not clear whether the Snyders are planning to sell all, part, or none of the Commanders team, which is valued at $5.6 billion, or whether they have spoken to the mogul duo.

Both Bezos and Jay-Z already have deep ties in the NFL world, and the two mega players owning a franchise together could continue to take football to new heights – and heighten their existing personal investments in the league, too.

The 58-year-old Amazon founder is in his first season of his 11-year $11 billion deal with the NFL to broadcast its Thursday Night Football via Amazon Prime. And just last month, Bezos secured a new deal with the league to broadcast the first ever Black Friday holiday football game exclusively on Prime.

Jay-Z, who is worth an estimated $1.3 billion by Forbes, previously owned a minority stake in the NBA's New Jersey Nets - now the Brooklyn Nets - before selling it when he started Roc Nation Sports in 2013.

In 2019, the Grammy-winning artist landed a partnership deal with the NFL to produce entertainment for its events, including the Super Bowl halftime show, and to have a hand in the league's social justice initiatives.

Currently, Dan Snyder is the subject of an investigation by US Congress over the Commanders franchise's workplace culture under his ownership.

The NFL is also investigating Dan Snyder following allegations of sexual misconduct, while he is also being investigated by attorney generals in Washington DC and Virginia over alleged financial improprieties.

Despite so much drama surrounding the spiraling franchise, the Commanders initially said the Snyders were not planning to sell the team. Yet, it's clear the franchise is in dire need of fresh faces who can guide the team back to prominence.

Enter Bezos and Jay-Z - and perhaps even some partial ownership from Jay's wife Beyoncé - and perhaps the Commanders can get in formation and put a Super Bowl ring on it.

Under the leadership of Bezos and Jay, the Commanders could potentially make a huge turnaround and start digging out from under the current hole of financial issues they're allegedly facing.

As the NFL has implemented changes to support diversity and continues to combat its lack thereof in management positions, instating Jay-Z as a Black franchise owner could potentially open more doors for Black and Brown people to step into more NFL leadership roles on an executive level. In the NFL's 102-year history, the league has never had a Black franchise owner.

While the two billionaires could likely each buy the team outright on their own, many are continuing to speculate about the possible partnership, and whether it will actually come to fruition.
