Panthers Ownership Rumor Roundup Corner


Sam Mills Fan

Recommended Posts

There have been reports of the following people being interested in buying the Panthers: the Belk family, the Levine family, the Wordsworths, Bruton Smith, Puff Daddy, a Felix Sabates/Muhsin Muhammad/Dell Curry group, Eddie DeBartolo, Carl Cook, Brian France, David Tepper, Mikhail Fridman, and Marc Benioff.

Did I miss anyone and who would you guys want to buy the team if that ended up as the final list?

Sabates has a net worth of 200 million.  Even if he cashed in all his chips, he still doesn't have enough for even a 10% stake.  Why does his name keep coming up?  Mostly because he likes to keep his name in the news. 

He's a mouthpiece.

By the way, I would go for the Sabates/Muhammad/Curry group, but a "group" makes me a little nervous. That makes me think of Derek Jeter and the Marlins and we've seen how much of a clusterf that has become.

How many people have $2B+ in liquid assets? Now how many of those people are interested in potentially buying an NFL team? You're left with a list that may be down to zero. It's almost certainly going to be a group.

So yeah, let me get this straight. Derek Jeter, Hall of Fame Yankees shortstop, buys the Miami Marlins - and then first thing he does is immediately trade maybe the best power hitter in a generation (and Miami's only good player) right to the Yankees? WTF Jeter?

    • Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.
    • I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.  
    • Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
