9News' Mike Klis reports that media tycoon Byron Allen is set to submit a bid to buy the Denver Broncos.

Allen is a business and media mogul who is the head of the entertainment company Entertainment Studios. According to Allen, Roger Goodell and Robert Kraft went to him in November of 2019 and asked him to think about purchasing an NFL team. He told Bloomberg on Tuesday that he is preparing to submit a bid to purchase the Broncos.

 

Cheers to future first black owner of NFL franchise.

He doesn't even have 25% of what it will take to purchase them.  Must be a large ownership group if he will be the majority owner.

 

Has to be.  Broncos owner want to sell, she inherited the team after death and she don’t want it.  I think this way in development for quite sometime behind the scene.

I wonder who he will add to his ownership group to get the rest of the money. No way his net worth of $450M will get the job done alone.

Yeah, only billionaires were in the running for the Panthers.  Heck, when it was speculated John Elway or Peyton Manning were interested, they were forming ownership groups because not even those guys have enough money to buy the Broncos outright.

I honestly don't know what is the best for teams.  

 

Ownership groups can be messy with internal power struggles.

or

One billionaire who has completely unchecked authority.

 

Both have potential to suck.

So how is this going to work? 
 

Current rules state the majority owner must own at least 30% of a franchise.

If Byron liquidated everything he owns, he could only buy 22% (assuming a $2B price).

Are they going to give him a huge discount or something or his he taking on a massive pile of debt.

Edit: The team is worth $3B.

Broncos are worth way more than $2B.  Forbes has them worth 3.75b.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
