Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team

[Schneed10]

You guys know how you can’t believe anything you hear in the weeks before the draft? Well take that and multiply it by 100 for this. They’re all in a high stakes game of poker, Snyder needs people to think he won’t sell if his price isn’t met; he’s trying to extract the best offer.

If Dan wants a bigger offer from Harris or whoever, he needs them to believe Bezos is out and won’t just swoop in and steal it.

So don’t look at information you hear as true or false, look at it as something someone purposely wanted you, or others, to know. If something comes from the Post and it’s about Bezos, then that’s something Bezos wanted to become public.

Information coming from the NY Post has long felt to me like it’s been leaked by the Snyder camp.

The one piece that makes me come close to believing that Snyder won’t sell to Bezos is The Athletic piece where Standig is the one writing about what a source told him. But it’s still quite likely an intentional leak.

The fact that this inconsistent messaging is coming out from all corners of the media is only proof to me that the sale process is getting close to the end. There’s a lot of money in the pot and everyone is forming their final posture, starting to bluff, and going for misdirection before showing their cards.
