Update 09/15/2021 11:13am:
Reports recently linked Jay-Z and Jeff Bezos to the possible purchase of the Denver Broncos if they go on sale in 2022. Former Broncos owner Pat Bowlen passed away in June 2019, and his seven daughters have reportedly had issues over ownership since his death.
Although the team hasn't officially announced that it will be sold next year, sources close to Jay-Z tell Complex that Jay-Z isn't interested in purchasing the team if it does go up for sale. Forbes also pointed out that Jay-Z would need backers to purchase the NFL team, as it could sell for as much as $4 billion, and Jay-Z's reported net worth is $1.4 billion.
Jeff Bezos, on the other hand, is worth $200 million and is reportedly interested in purchasing an NFL team after previously being in talks with the Washington Football Team for a 40 percent stake.

The former owner of the Denver Broncos—Pat Bowlen, copped the team for $78 million in 1984. In June 2019, Bowlen passed away, and the ownership of the team has been up in limbo.

Bezos has reportedly remained interested in NFL ownership and previously was in talks to get a 40% stake in the Washington Football Team.
