Josh Harris, leading a group that includes Magic Johnson, placed a bid for the Commanders last week, and Johnson confirmed the news on The Today Show on Tuesday morning.
“Our bid is in,” Johnson said. “We hope that we win. We don't know what's going to happen. We'll see what happens with Mr. Snyder making that decision. But we're excited about it.”
For Johnson, who has enjoyed championships as a player and executive, winning a Super Bowl title would be his idea of a last frontier.
“That’s the last thing,” Johnson said. “You have the Dodgers, you have the Spartans, you have LAFC in soccer. We won the championship this season, so that was great. So we’ll see what happens.
“I got a ring in every sport, but I need a Super Bowl ring. And I would love to be the owner of the Commanders to not only do great work on the field, but the work we could do with the city.”
Johnson and Harris’ bid reportedly meets Snyder’s asking price of $6 billion, but there are other bids from hopeful ownership groups, including Canadian billionaire Steve Apostolopoulos.
