Colts says Jim Irsay has denied a $ 3.2 billion offer for the team – ProFootballTalk

Colts are not for sale. If they are, it will cost more than $ 3.2 billion to obtain them.

Via the Indianapolis StarThe team confirmed that the owner, Jim Irsay, had rejected an unspecified bid of $ 3.2 billion for the franchise. The identity of the potential buyer has not been revealed. A spokesman for the team also said at the Star that Colts are not for sale.

It's true that an unknown bidder offered $ 3.2 billion to the Colts, and if the offer had been accepted, the price would have been record for any NFL team. Last year, David Tepper bought the Panthers for $ 2.3 billion.

And there is no way to know if this is true unless and until the unidentified buyer is identified – and unless and until the unidentified buyer confirms the offer rejected. Otherwise, it is possible that the team is for sale and that telling the world that a $ 3.2 billion bid has been rejected sends the message that it will cost more than that. to get the team.

Like maybe $ 3.2 billion and the accordion of Weird Al Yankovic.
