Brian Urlacher, Travis Kelce, DeMarco Murray Join Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez's Bid to Buy Mets

As if Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez's bid to buy the Mets wasn't star-studded enough, Hall of Fame linebacker Brian Urlacher, Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce and former NFL standout DeMarco Murray have joined the couple's group of investors.

Rodriguez and Lopez told ESPN Monday that the three men are joining their team.

"We couldn't be more excited to have such high-quality individuals as part of our group," Rodriguez and Lopez said.

The New York Post previously reported the group submitted a bid around $1.7 billion, which falls shy of hedge fund manager Steve Cohen's $2 billion bid.
