76ers co-owner Josh Harris nearing $6 billion deal to purchase the Commanders

A group led by Philadelphia 76ers co-owner Josh Harris is nearing a deal to buy the Washington Commanders for just under $6 billion

In what can be described as awkward for both cities and four different fan bases, Philadelphia 76ers co-owner Josh Harris is nearing a deal to purchase the NFL’s Washington Commanders for $6 billion, according to Sportico.

Long-time owner Daniel Snyder is selling the team amid several investigations into his time running the NFL club.

The $6 billion is a 700% increase from the $750 million Snyder paid in 1999, according to Joe Pompliano.

The deal with Harris’s group would be the most substantial in NFL history, and the investors include billionaire Mitchell Rales and former Lakers star and Hall of Famer Magic Johnson.
