Rob Walton and the Denver Broncos

Walton, the future owner of the Broncos. Source: Sports Illustrated Walton's bid for the franchise is reportedly about $4.5 billion, which would make it the most expensive in American sports history. NFL owners and top executives met in Atlanta, Georgia, last month for the yearly spring league meeting. Denver, assisted by the firm Allen & Co. and Prosakuer Rose LLP, continued to be deep in the business of finding a new owner. Denver President and CEO Joe Ellis was at the meeting as their representative. Walton is the eldest son of Sam Walton, the founder of Walmart. He took over as chairman of the company upon the passing of his father in 1992 and stepped away from the role in 2015. Forbes reported that Walton's ownership group includes his daughter Carrie and her husband Greg Penner. All along, the Broncos have said they will have a new owner by the start of the NFL season. It looks like that could become a reality if three-fourths of the owners sign off on the sale of the team to Walton. NFL Injuries: Find out about ?
