Richardson only owns about 47-48% of the team. The remaining shares are divided among several people.

This means whoever's buying the team is gonna have to pay full price.

Also means those other owners are gonna be out.

Also means those other owners are going to be making a ton of money on their investment.

They didn't know that though. They do now.

When making these decisions, I doubt Richardson and company gave Diddy a second thought...or a first one.

Over here on the message board, you may have a bunch of fans going "oh wow, Diddy wants to purchase the team" and all. Over at BOA, I doubt anybody's even mentioned it. If they did, the response was probably "Who?"

Jerry Richardson kind of has bigger things on his mind right now. And whatever he does from here on out won't be affected by anything Diddy says or does.

But why are they cashing out?

Could be nothing major, but...

Other owners are cashing b/c this is the perfect chance to do so.  The value of the team is going to plateau if not decrease in the future.  Some investors put in as little as $7 mill, 3.3% of the $206 mill initial price tag.  Wonder what 3.3% of $2.5 billion is...

the problem for the teams on that list, with the exception of the saints, is they suck...i'm willing to put money on the asking price being waaay to high for any serious investor. if you can't sell out your stadium on game day, there's no way in hell someone's going to shell out the money to buy the whole enchilada.

They also don't have a huge scandal looming over them.

Richardson would be the proverbial "motivated seller".

And the market value could go higher with a super bowl win this season

Which Jerry will get. It all makes sense, a good sending off for Mr Richardson. Take your 2.5+ Billion, your Lombardi, and be happy with everything. Sincerely, Owners of the NFL.

I have $22 in my bank account. Can I own the team?

...and please don't show your face again.

The league is gonna want this to go away quick, but I kinda doubt that's gonna work out for them.

This is probably just the first.

I don't trust Mike Florio. He has a habit of embellishing things.

Thank goodness.  Let's see Diddy raise 2.3+ billion dollars if he can.  I said the sale would probably go over 3 billion.

I’m pretty sure he has more money than Trump though

I want a sugar daddy like this team has

This doesn't change much in terms of bidders imo. The current interested parties knew this already, which is why we are hearing about them talking to 'investors', those investors will become the new minority owners. It makes sense, if a new majority owner comes in and has tension with the other owners, it would be an issue.

The head guy would still have to pony ~800 million of his own money, the rest would be covered by investors aka minority owners.

They won't be minority owners if you got to raise 2.3+ billion.  If you're going to be a majority owner, you have to put up in excess of 1.5 billion.
