Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta reportedly among potential Commanders buyers

Another suitor has entered the mix to buy the Washington Commanders.

Houston Rockets team owner Tilman Fertitta reportedly submitted a bid to purchase the NFL team, according to the Washington Post, but is also not believed to be a frontrunner. Fertitta reportedly offered around $5.5 billion to the Commanders and visited the team's training facility in Ashburn, Virginia. That number is well below the $7 billion current owner Dan Snyder reportedly wants for his franchise.

Fertitta, 65, is the second known bidder for the Commanders alongside fellow NBA owner Josh Harris, who owns the Philadelphia 76ers as well as the New Jersey Devils of the NHL.
