Jeff Bezos no longer plans to bid for the NFL’s Washington Commanders, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The founder of Amazon.com Inc. has long been seen as the clear frontrunner to own the franchise since Dan and Tanya Snyder said they were exploring options including a sale following scrutiny over the team’s toxic work environment. Bezos, 59, is the world’s third-richest person, with a $121.7 billion fortune, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
