If I had to guess, I would guess this is a ramming together of a couple of different things. We heard the story about Melody Hodson probably buying somewhere around 30$ of the team a while back. It has been my feeling that this probably means she has an agreement in place with Jerry to buy at least his shares, but maybe all of the team upon his death so that Jerry gets his team sale as well as it happening at the most tax advantageous time possible. I can't see Jerry just leaving a loose end like not having a sale already prearranged as picky as he has been about who he voted to let into ownership around the league. If he allowed the Hodson thing to happen in his own group, it only makes sense that she is coming in to take over.
If you think of this in the longer term context, our long term owner is already here, but the actual sale of a majority ownership of the team hasn't happened yet, just an agreement to do so.
Again, totally my speculation, but it checks all of the boxes that have been talked about for years, as well as some of the more persistent rumors out there.
