Hall of Fame linebacker Brian Urlacher, Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce, and 2014 NFL Offensive Player of the Year DeMarco Murray are part of a group of investors who have joined power couple Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez in a bid to buy the New York Mets.
The group already submitted its initial bid of $1.7 billion. Hedge-fund billionaire Stephen Cohen has made a top bid so far of $2 billion bid, according to a report by the New York Post. Mets COO Jeff Wilpon would prefer to sell to the Rodriguez-Lopez group if their offer is close to the best bid at the end of the auction, according to the Post.
