Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank has engaged in confidential negotiations with Jon Bon Jovi to purchase part of the team for $150 million, according to NFL.com.
According to league sources, Blank acknowledged the talks Sunday morning but downplayed them as "discussions that are unlikely" to result in a deal.
Blank has opened the door to the possibility of minority partners to generate cash toward his plans to build a new outdoor stadium.
Bon Jovi has been owner of the Arena Football League's Philadelphia Soul from 2004 to 2009.
