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.
