Rick Ross wants to own an NFL team with Dwyane Wade

Rick Ross and Dwyane Wade rose to prominence around the same time. Wade won his first title in 2006 with the Miami Heat. Ross dropped his debut album “Port of Miami” later that summer.

They’re two pillars Miami culture and have built a friendship upon that. Their connection, potentially, lead to something major in the NFL world if Rick Ross has his way.

The rapper paid a visit to First Take on Wednesday, where he was asked about potentially owning an NFL franchise with Dwyane Wade.

Would he do it with Wade? Definitely, Ross said, if the opportunity presented itself.

“That was a conversation that me and D Wade had and, you know, it wasn’t nothing serious at the time…But would I? Of course I would. Is that something I would be interested in? Of course I would.”

This isn’t the first time Ross has said he’d do this. He talked with Wade for GQ last year and asked the Miami Heat legend if he’d be willing to do it. “I move forward on it. I move forward on it, 100%,” Wade said.

I can only imagine what this team would look like. Ross on the sidelines every game, uniforms decked out in Versace patterns and Wing Stop all the time, probably.
