For Sale

[Mr. Scot]

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.

Gantt's tweet about Shula was pretty funny though.

From Person...

Here's how a Panthers sale could work

[PantherOnTheProwl1523]

How long will this process take though. The waiting will be rough till we know when it will take place. I am curious who will be involved since no acceptable buyers names have been brought up yet but the ones that have been brought up are unlikable.

[Mr. Scot]

Hard to say.

Predicted time frames are all over the map.

Word now that the Smith family may be joining the Sabates group.

Oy...

Speedway owners "very interested" in joining Sabates bid

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.

You guys talk about Sabates and Smith as though they are the east coast version of Al Davis. What gives? Why the animosity?
