Multiple deep-pocketed individuals are being mentioned as potential bidders for the Carolina Panthers, put up for sale in January by longtime owner and founder Jerry Richardson.

That could be good news for Richardson, who owns 48 percent of the franchise, and his minority partners.

The Panthers could sell for between $2.3 billion-$2.8 billion, experts say. And even the appearance of more credible bidders, some of whom the Observer has been able to verify, could mean a difference of a half-billion dollars in the value of the team.

Viable names reported so far include billionaires David Tepper (by NFL Network) and Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta (by CBS’ Jason La Canfora), Ben Navarro and a group that includes Charlotte businessman Felix Sabates.

Article includes info on several potential buyers.

No indication that either is interested, and Jordan doesn't have the money to compete with guys like Navarro and Tepper.

Big Business ppl like to keep negotiations under wrap until the right time.

MJ has enough money w/ his group.

(NFL will even help MJ group  w/ finance  similar to MLB deal with Jetter)

The bigger question is will NFL push for a minority owner due to changing customers & landscape of America aka more diversity.

There's no indication Jordan even has a "group".

But if he did, unless he's hanging with somebody that's worth more than 11 billion, he's not competing with Tepper.

MJ would have to divest the hornets and completely shift his focus.  He has never indicated this as an option. He also would have some difficulty writing a 650m check. MJ isn’t an option. If he were his current ownership style is the opposite of what we need anyway.

MJ is worth almost 1.7b dollars now, 700m of that is the Hornets. Considering his cash flow from Nike and his relationship with them, I wouldn't be surprised if he could come up with the money if he wanted too.

Ok. Assuming those valuations are correct then he could potentially pull together 800m personally but the problem would be the timeframe. He has a lot of value but not cash and value is hard to turn into cash in tight windows. Regardless he is a very public figure who hasn’t shown a single iota of interest so even if he could sell the hornets in the time he hasn’t begun that process. If MJ could write a 250m check in the next 6mo I’d be surprised.

Give up owning a team in the sport he's loved his whole life in order to buy one in a sport he's never had any association with or interest in...

Yeah, that'll happen.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
