UPDATE: Where Brian Davis is getting his $7B cash to purchase Commanders:

PART 1:
SOURCE: Brian Davis raised the capital by selling his own intellectual property. I’m told, during his capital raise, private investors realized he had a $50B…

PART 2: valuation for his assets
& intellectual property. These private investors gave Urban Echo Energy, the company Davis owns, the capital upfront in a lump sum of money. They say, Davis is the first LEED green developer in America.

Going to be a bad look for Haynes if this Davis report doesn’t grow teeth. https://t.co/VBpa7sGitm

Josh Harris’ group remains on track to finalize its tentative $6.05B deal to purchase Commanders, sources told @FOS tonight.

Not doubting @DarrenMHaynes’ reporting on the $7B bid. But you have to wonder why somebody needs to bid $1B more than Harris…. https://t.co/AEPpDKgQfu

I have a question for you guys, Can Josh Harris talk to the team and give them directions about FA and the draft? @JPFinlayNBCS @john_keim @Snide_Remarks

— Rick Kosack (@RickKosack) April 14, 2023

1) Nothing has been finalized. 2) would be a massive mistake if he inserted himself into any of those decisions. However, I could see them talking to him after it’s finalized about $$ decisions in particular — CY 5th year option for example. Also to lay out their vision etc.

Rick Snider’s Washington wonders if bidders are overpaying for the Washington Commanders? Gimme two minutes. pic.twitter.com/KP4EFmL4Xj

Questions:

1. Did the Broncos sale include the stadium and 200 acres of land in a major metropolitan area? (the purchase price did not include the land under Broncos headquarters)

2. Does the Commanders sale include the gaming license?

I doubt the price is simply arbitrary.

The only thing Washington players said they really loved was their strength staff

Really evident here. Daron Payne signed his contract and had to go see the crew. The love and happiness they had for him was so genuine. You can tell how hard he grinded with them. pic.twitter.com/JYO0WJwbUL

But this wasn’t a normal fan situation. The team wasn’t just going through a bad patch. It was 2 decades of an owner that is heavily accused of creating and participating in a toxic environment, lots of sexual assault allegations, suing season ticket holders etc. https://t.co/3MpFD9LoB8

Commanders estimated at 7 UDFAs in this article. I’m guessing 9 or 10 because I think there will be more than one player currently on the roster that will be released after the draft. https://t.co/fDOVNkHf7P

Any team trading for Budda Baker would take on non-guaranteed salaries of $13.1M and $14.2M for 2023 and 2024.

The Cardinals would see $3.775M in cap dollars added to 2023, unless the trade occurs after June 1.https://t.co/X3QspNjB20 https://t.co/6LThlItVmv

Former NFL executive Michael Lombardi: “I was told reliably by somebody who is involved that Lamar [Jackson] told [the Ravens] in a conversation, ‘Get Hopkins and get Beckham, and then we can talk.’ And the club went back to him and said, ‘Look, we can’t get Hopkins and Beckham.… pic.twitter.com/B9IXmNAM9P

Both OBJ and the Rams knew he didn’t have an ACL during his time with the team in 2021. But no one else did, because it was never disclosed on any injury report. https://t.co/ypw72QWCsF

I know the Houston Texans need a QB, but taking CJ Stroud at No. 2 means you’re projecting he’ll be a top 5 player at his position. Are you ready to say he can be a top 5 QB in the NFL? I like Stroud, but I can’t go there.

The NFL Draft is terrifying.

There will be Hall of Famers drafted in a couple weeks.

And there will be picks that fail miserably and cost people jobs.

There are only about 100 tickets left at Audi Field.
