I wasn't serious in any way, shape or form, but if big cat lives 3-5 more years it's not out of the realm of possibility that Curry would have enough to be at least a minority owner in an NFL team. 

What does he make in endorsements?

His under armor deal is worth over $100 million over its lifetime I think.

Carolina isn't just one of the most successful NFL teams but one of the most in all of professional sports. 

No one is going to be looking to take it run elsewhere.  All they care about is money and clearly it can be made here.

But if it makes you feel better I can put in an offer to buy it.   I have been putting loose change in a jar for some time now and that stuff adds up.   Might have a hundred by now.  But just so there is no confusion....there will be no DeAngeo statue.

People are still concerned about the team leaving? It would not make any sense for a new owner to move this team. They are well established.

its true. I would like my favorite NFL team to be located in the same city as me. my body is ready. 

Then move. Can't wait until California sinks into the ocean.

I don't really want to think about any of it.  I know the day will come, but it will suck if JR doesn't have some plan in place that keeps the team here. 

[Ruff]

This is such a dumb thread. It's pretty obvious the Belk brothers will take over the team almost immediately after JR passing. 

[tailg8or]

Good thread but I'm not even going to think about succession plans until they get Big Cat a ring.  First things first ...

[GRWatcher]

People are mentioning Bruton Smith ............... you do know he is 88 years old?? Just as likely to kick the bucket before JR.

I think you are correct because state and local money went to pay for the renovations and stadium.  That's not to say a buyer couldn't reimburse government for what they paid and move the team, but that is not likely, in my opinion.

Why would they do that?  The Panthers bring lots of money to them.

There is that possibility.  Do I think it will come to fruition?  Not at all.  In the NFL's eyes, this franchise is still young but it is growing.  Once we start getting back to back trips to the superbowl then the fan base will solidify.  You're starting to see some of that now.  I believe the coaching we have in place (exception shula) along with the players drafted, brought in, and Gettleman's eye for talent we will be contenders for the playoffs for years to come.  I know many of you disagree on the shula point, but I Cam has improved despite shula.
