Rivera confirms what I've heard about the organizational structure.

Quote

Mostly, though, players and coaches stuck to stay-focused tropes when discussing the ultimate impact of Richardson’s final days as owner.

“I think it’s relatively easy because it’s on the other side of the building,” Rivera said when asked about avoiding potential distractions caused by the upcoming sale. “We’re the football side. That’s the business side. I know that the new owner will impact things that happen with us on the football side, but, for the most part, we’ll just go about our business and do the things we need to in terms of the football team.”

Charles Johnson, a defensive end, put it more succinctly.

“It ain’t got nothing to do with me,” he said. “That’s upstairs, that’s above my pay grade.”

PFT: Panthers sale will linger into next season

I don't buy it.

Mike Florio is a blowhard that likes to act like he knows what he's talking about when history says he rarely does.  He's also a drama queen that always blows things out of proportion and tries to make everything seem like earth shattering news.  

If he was someone with real contacts and knowledge, and if he had a history of providing informed and thoughtful opinions about the big topics in the NFL, then I might take him more seriously. But that's not the case, so I take anything he says with a grain of salt.  Basically, he's little more than a fan with a platform.  

History tells us that this should be done long before training camp, and likely no later than the May owners meetings.  Also, I am sure JR really doesn't want this lingering and hanging over his head.  So, he'll take a reasonable offer to get it done rather than play hardball trying to get every possible dime out of it.  The only possible issue I see is that I do believe he will make a point of selling to a group that is intent on keeping the team here in Charlotte...but to be honest, I think every group that will submit a serious bit will intend to keep the team here.  So, that shouldn't really be an issue.

Cliffnotes: Mike Florio is a twat. Darin Gantt is a very salty twat. Fug PFT.

On the surface, it seems like it’s going to be really, really hard for a group to compete with what Sabates is putting together.

Not much word from anyone else yet, but as I think Rodrigue said, billionaires do things in secret. We'll see.

Something tells me an ownership group that includes both Sabates and the Smiths won't be too popular on here.

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
