Consultant: City needs next deal for Carolina Panthers


SCP

Recommended Posts

"All of which makes for an intriguing, and uncertain, future. Jerry Richardson, the 79-year-old majority owner, is planning for the team to be sold after he dies. Who buys the team, and that person’s views on keeping BofA Stadium or building a new one, are going to become major issues when Richardson no longer owns the Panthers.

Bob Hagemann, the city attorney, told me Thursday the contract between the team and the city also allows the city to buy the stadium at a nominal cost if the Panthers relocate. That provision exists to avoid having an empty, neglected stadium in the middle of uptown if the city loses the NFL franchise, he said."

 Ever seen a successful business ran into the ground by the founder's kids?

i seem to remember some nfl franchise recently dealing with legal issues over that.... cant for the life of me think of who it might be. surely they dont play in the Panthers' division though... surely the owner doesnt also own an NBA team or anything...

This stuff really doesn't concern me. We have a great fan base and a system that maximizes profitability for the team in Charlotte already. The only city primed for a team to relocate to it is Los Angeles and the Chargers will probably do that in a year or two. A new owner moving an entire NFL organization from Charlotte to the West Coast makes no sense.

 

The Carolina Panthers will be in Charlotte until long after we're all dead or the zombie outbreak begins.

    • I agree Tepper completely bumbled everything after purchasing the Panthers. Kept Rivera and Hurney too long, including letting Hurney last into Matt Rhule’s tenure instead of hiring a GM to hire the head coach, and then hiring Matt Rhule and giving him way too much power, then keeping him into year 3. For all the reputation Tepper has as having too quick of a trigger finger with coaches/GMs, it is entirely unwarranted. 2 out of 3 head coaches and GMs he kept too long. That being said, it would have all probably ended up fine if Matt Rhule had not been a complete egotistical idiot who felt the need to piss all over everything about the franchise to mark his territory. All he had to do was keep Cam on the last year of his contract, listen to 1st round draft genius Marty Hurney and go up and get Justin Herbert, and not trade for reclamation project QBs every year. And now hearing poo like this, how about not run your star RB in goal line drills his first practice back from injury. I wish Matt Rhule nothing but the worst in his coaching career because it was his hubris and arrogance that led to all of this.
    • Chris Paul Jr should be high on the list. He might be able to start by mid-season (time to pick up the defense). He's already better at beating/shedding blocks than any other ILB on the roster.  So tired of watching guys run into OGs and play push with them. Beat the friggin block so you can make a friggin tackle!------- Please!
    • Sir, the Panthers are not going to have a winning season this year. They're too young/inexperienced at the skill positions. I'd say 2026 is the season for winning expectations. This year is for development.
