Slew of NFL stars paired with J-Lo and A-Rod submit bid to purchase New York Mets franchise

Hall of Fame Linebacker Brian Urlacher Super Bowl Winner Travis Kelce along with a slew of other athletes are part of a group of investors who have joined Hollywood star Jennifer Lopez and former Yankee stud Alex Rodriguez in a bid to buy the New York Mets.

The group who includes former NFL running back Demarco Murray already submitted a bid of $1.7 million but currently is in standby mode as Hedge Fund Billionaire Steve Cohen among others have also placed bids for the Big Apple team.

According to ESPN, Jim Cantelupe, co-founder of Summit Trail Advisors, organized the group and sources close to the story have Mets COO Jeff Wilpon leaning towards selling to the group as opposed to Cohen or others but no finalizations have been made at this time.
