Apparition Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 1 minute ago, lancerman said: This is huge because Richardson along with Kraft, Jones, Rooney and Mara was one of the top 5 owners and in Goodell's inner circle. Two scenario's I can envision. What he did was so bad that he wants to get out of dodge and make himself irrelevant so nobody cares. Two he's just doing the league a solid as a good steward and alleviating some bad publicity from them According to SI he was basically Donald Sterling and Harvey Weinstein rolled into one.

You can own two different sports franchises (per NFL rules) as long as they're in the same state. I just kind of bring it up because last I knew North Carolina only has three billionaires (none with any particular sports proclivities that I'm aware) and all of them are over 70. How much will the Panthers go for 2-3 billion ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're currently the 23rd most valuable NFL franchise at $1b, so you have to figure on Richardson getting at least 150% on market value because of scarcity. So I'd say $2 billion or just shy of there is probably realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRider Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Is it bad that all I'm hoping for out of all of this is that the Panthers update their jerseys? (They scream 90's and would have been updated by now if they weren't Jerry's baby). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The all whites are trash though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember thinking he was a clown for what he said to Cam Newton during the draft process a several years back. Carolina deserves better ownership and I hope all he did comes out to the media. That comment bothered you??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it needs an update sooooooo bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to bring this up, but considering this and the fact that Richardson seems to be trying to hastily sell the team, I wonder if the new owner would consider relocating?

I dont think he would sell if he wasn't selling to someone (or a group) dedicated to staying in Charlotte. Getting a team to North Carolina was his brain child. This team is his legacy.
