John Henry could be looking to add an NFL team to his portfolio.

A deal for Liverpool is expected to generate between $4 billion and $5 billion. Forbes estimates the Commanders franchise is worth approximately $5.6 billion. If Henry indeed looks to purchase the team, he may have to bid against a contingency led by Jeff Bezos, Jay-Z and Matthew McConaughey
Henry has been the principal owner of the Red Sox since 2002. Fenway Sports Group also has a 50 percent stake in NASCAR's Roush Fenway Keselowski racing and recently purchased the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins.
