Amazon owner Jeff Bezos has emerged as a serious contender to buy the Washington Commanders. To do so, he'll have to follow current Commanders owner Daniel Snyder's demands. However, Bezos has received one major supporter in his quest to buy the Washington franchise.

Snyder is refusing to sell the Commanders for anything less than $6 billion, via Charles Gasparino of the Fox Business Network. The NFL is pushing for Bezos to submit a bit, as he would certainly meet the league's 30 percent equity rule.

Bezos has had ongoing discussions with rapper Jay-Z about a potential partnership in owning the Commanders. However, Bezos reportedly wants to retain control of the team if he purchases it. In making the deal possible, Bezos has considered selling the Washington Post with politician Mike Bloomberg as a potential buyer.

With Jeff Bezos being one of the richest people in the world, and with the Post being in Washington, he became a logical buyer when Daniel Snyder began the selling process. However, the reality of him actually being the Commanders' owner became much more real after hiring an investment firm.
