Report: Four groups expected to make second bid to buy Broncos

The Denver Broncos are getting closer to being sold.

9News Denver and 104.3 The Fan Broncos Insider Mike Klis reports that sources tell him second-round bids to buy the Broncos are due by Monday. Klis says four groups are expected to make bids with a possible fifth longshot.

Klis lists:

1. Rob Walton-Greg Penner
2. Josh Harris
3. Jose E. Feliciano, Behdad Eghbali and Todd Boehly
4. Matt Ishbia and Justin Ishbia

Klis says Byron Allen is in a fifth group but is considered a longshot. The reporter also detailed some updates about Boehly’s bid since he just brought the soccer club, Chelsea.

Klis wrote on Twitter, “It would be stunning – STUNNING – if Boehly/Feliciano/Eghbali bought Chelsea and then Feliciano/Eghbali/Boehly bought the Broncos in, say, a 30-day period. But they got a shot.”

*Boehly is lead partner in Chelsea soccer club even if Feliciano/Edhbali put in more money through their Clearlake Capital private equity fund. With Broncos, Feliciano would be lead owner as personal investor per source. Edhbali his co-partner. Boehly a limited partner. #9sports
