TL;DR

For the first time in NFL history, private equity firms have purchased stakes in league teams, with Ares Management acquiring 10% of the Miami Dolphins and Arctos Partners and Gridiron Capital buying into the Buffalo Bills. This move, approved by NFL owners, allows for increased liquidity as franchise values rise. The Dolphins' valuation was set at $8.1 billion, while the Bills' was $5.8 billion. The sales aim to diversify ownership and expand market reach, particularly in Toronto for the Bills.
