Michael Jordan 'Not Interested' in Bidding on Washington Commanders amid Rumors

Michael Jordan apparently has no interest in trying his hand at NFL ownership.

The potential sale of the Washington Commanders is a major topic this offseason for the NFL, and Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports noted "rumors swirled" that His Airness was part of one of the interested groups in purchasing the franchise.

However, Jump Management, Jordan's family office, released a statement to Jones denying those rumors. "Michael Jordan is not interested nor attached to any bids for the Washington Commanders," it stated.

The statement comes after ESPN's Adam Schefter and Brian Windhorst reported there are multiple bids of $6 billion to purchase the team from owner Dan Snyder, one of which does include a different basketball legend.
