It's taking a while because there's a lot of interest.

Sounds like there may be more suitors we haven't heard of yet.

(no, not Jordan)

Or Bezo 

 

Was hoping for March before the draft. But May works too.  Gives new ownership time to settle in before training camp.

Post draft is often when scouting staffs get walking papers.

I'd think that's more likely a year from now, though.

Keep seeing David Tepper's name popping up.  He'd have to unload his Steelers stake but he at least has been involved with ownership stake in a team before...beyond that I don't know much about him.  Well, except he is incredibly rich.

Net worth of nearly 12 billion...

The candidates that everyone takes most seriously right now are Tepper and Navarro.

Tepper could make the higher bid but Navarro is native to the Carolinas.

I noticed that...I did a little research on each one.  Given that Navarro lives in SC I'd probably feel a little better with him. 

Also:  Navarro is the son of former college coach Frank Navarro, who coached Princeton and Columbia, Navarro has deep ties to the sport but has never been directly involved with owning a team.

    • In all honesty, he should probably get that checked out. It might be (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "a tuuumaaa" 
    • Ah yes, my bad. It's easy to forget those handful of games Frank coached. LOL 
    • I've seen the comp a few times, and I feel there is a lot to it. Our situation is a lot like Kansas City was pre-Mahomes (without the HOF HC) Whether you like them or not, D&D are building something here.  They had a strong draft.  The team is slowly coming together, developing some identity, and has some decent blue chip parts.  Brown, Horn, McMillan, and a good OL situation that we should keep fortifying every year.  It's not much yet, but growing.    Bryce is in that Alex Smith spot.  A top draft pick, has never been overly impressive, but you can win games when he's safe with the ball.  You're not winning because of him - maybe once in a blue moon.  From time to time he's shown the ability to orchestrate some plays and lead drives.  I just don't see anything that is like - "oh snap, yeah don't let him go, he's ours".  He'll make a solid/good throw every now and again, but man, it is a struggle a lot of the time to watch.  Some terrible performances to speak of, heck he's already been benched once during year 2.      He should in no way preclude you from flirting with what else is out there.  This is not a marriage.  If you're in position (or trade range) for a guy you REALLY like come draft day, you shoot your shot. If we are in the draft process, and suddenly realize QB3-4 is a guy we really like, that's when you make a modest jump from like 16 to 11 or something like that.  Just like the Bills did for Allen, like the Chiefs did for Mahomes.  This is nothing magical that plants this franchise savior title on them, this is not some stupid trade-- it's an easy trade up to get a guy you like w/a big ceiling.  It's all player dependent and coaching/development driven.  If we don't like a QB, by all means fortify the front-7, get an awesome OLB or ILB prospect.   But we're on year 3, you kind of know what you're getting at this point.  Mostly sub-200 yard performances, low YPA, bad technique, poor mechanics, some decent stuff sprinkled in, but some bad turnover heavy ones that kill the team's momentum.  Again, run with him if there's no complete disaster that happens the remainder of the season, but don't close the door on something better just because of the investment or debatable performances.
