Why is the sale of the team taking so long?

Which brings up another question...

Does Richardson having to sell the team under a cloud of scandal make it easier for the NFL to nudge the sale toward their preferred guy?

What if the league simply decides the claims against JR don't rise to a level deserving of serious punishment? 

What if the league gives JR a slap on the wrist, a fine or written admonishment and concludes its investigation?

What if JR then decides to remain the owner of the Panthers?

Maybe JR never sells the team.

With what SI was able to find, that seems unlikely. Plus the sale process has already started. Kinda doubt they'd let him back out of it now.

Course if they did, the league would likely get #metooed to death.

From what we've witnessed over the last decade, I'm fairly certain JR isn't operating with a full deck of cards anymore.

Nothing JR decides to do would surprise me at this point.

It would appear that the NFL would prefer a one owner situation...less messy with personalities.

But the decision is up to JR...and he would prefer to sell it to his friends.

We will see who wins...

That's a reasonable hypothesis but based on what? And who? That's just a guess

That's been suggested, and there's definitely reason to think so. Dirty old men sometimes just don't have all their mental filters.

Probably Tepper based on the fact that he's already"part of the club". Also the fact this is how Haslam got the Browns and the NFL would certainly like to have someone worth nearly 12 billion dollars in their fold.

There's also Navarro whom Richardson might prefer because he's from the Carolinas.

I interpreted friends to mean someone local and already involved. Those two are the likely too candidates even without any thin strands of attachment. Very very thin strands

Gotcha. I definitely wouldn't call either of them friends. Sabates is friends with Ron Rivera, not sure about Jerry Richardson. I sincerely doubt his group is going to be able to offer a strong bid. Even if Richardson chose him, the league would have to approve.

The only real "strands" with the others are that Navarro is from the Carolinas and Tepper is associated with the organization that Richardson always said he wanted to model the Panthers after.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
