Johnson, an actor and producer who played college football at the University of Miami, teamed up with Gerry Cardinale’s RedBird Capital to buy the league just hours before a planned auction was scheduled to begin.

RedBird has made a litany of sports-related investments, including some with ties to the National Football League and its players.
