New Mayor Wants Panthers To Stay Put

Yeah. Charlotte officials got paranoid as soon as the news of the team being sold broke.

Richardson will sell to someone who commits to keeping the team anyway, but I wouldn't be surprised if the city gave them some incentives.

This is something that talking heads just do not seem to get.  This is not a fire-sale.  JR got the word out, will get offers and pick the one he likes the best.  And you can bet a good foot massage that the winning bid will be an owner or ownership group that is either Carolina-based or commits to keeping team in Carolina.

Are there any state-owned teams in the league? I’m wondering if North and South Carolina could pool some cash to purchase the team. I’m sure that would create a poo storm among some people, but having the states own the team would ensure that the team stays. 

No. Don't think the league would allow that, and it'd be a tough sell with non-football voters.

Its not allowed.  Green Bay was an exception because they were already publicly owned, but any sale will have to be a private owner, or a group with one person having controlling interest.

The city should bend over backwards to meet whatever desire the new owner has to keep the team here. It may cost us some in taxes but our taxes are already going up, and at least as one resident I'm totally up for paying whatever extra I gotta pay.

What you’re insinuating would lead to a revolt, even among Panther fans.  Declining league with uncertain future, ZERO viable relocation threat, perfectly fine BOA=NO NEW TAXES for the NFL

Let’s re-evaluate in 2030 and see where things stand.

    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
    • You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
