The National Football League is a never-stopping money-making machine, and as such, it’s only normal to see that plenty of people want in on the action.
That’s why there’s an interest in acquiring the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
According to a report by Sportico, the Bucs just turned down an offer for the franchise.
Per the report, the offer was for ‘a tick above’ the $6.05 billion that Josh Harris and his group of investors paid to get the Washington Commanders just last year.
The @Buccaneers recently turned down a proposal to buy the franchise for $6+ billion, sources told @kbadenhausen.
At 133%, Tampa Bay has had the biggest overall value increase since Sportico’s inaugural NFL team valuations in 2020.

The offer would’ve set a record for both the highest transaction to acquire an NFL team and a sports team as a whole.
The report didn’t disclose where the offer came from, adding that the Buccaneers didn’t return any of their requests for comment.
The Bucs have been in the Glazer family since 1995.
Malcolm Glazer spent a then-record $192 million to acquire the organization, so it’s safe to say that they would’ve made a big profit out of it.
According to the report, the Bucs generated more than $130 million in earnings before taxes, amortization, interest, and depreciation last season.
The two-time Super Bowl champions have been the strongest force in the NFC South Division for years now, and it seems like the Glazers are quite satisfied with the way things are going.
