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.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By GOAT · Posted

      5 straight completions in the 4th quarter to get into the red zone and then score a stand up rushing TD and celly in one of the best defenses faces to bring the score within 1 possession against the super bowl champs is "stunned" to you?

      yes, if you read what I said - that was due to his record breaking 245 yard 4th quarter performance in garbage time when the Seahawks were already celebrating. If Bryce puts up big numbers in the 4th quarter, people like you are quick to call it garbage time stats but seem to get selective when other QB's do it because it doesn't fit your narrative.  also, I'm logical enough to admit that Drake is a great QB and his performance had a lot to do with his protection, play calling, and other aspects. The game does not fall completely on the QB. Just like how the Panthers were still in the game vs Seattle until Horn's penalty changed that. It is a team sport, so many factors, players, refs, coaches are involved and it only takes one thing to change the game. the obsession with Bryce is just nauseating at this point and if you pay attention on here, it's the same 10 users quoting and pieing each other. it's super weird and everywhere else you go, opinions on Bryce are trending upwards. the way the season ended, the vibe at the stadium, the performance, should have everyone excited about this next season. Idk, maybe I just look at life and my entertainment outlets differently than others.
