interesting...

Personally, I wouldn't mind Michael Rubin being the owner. He's been particularly well-liked by fanbases and players for those he's worked with. He knows how to connect with modern culture and the such.

Interesting that Diddy may be a part of this as well. Been a while since I've last heard his name, but I was wondering what he's been up to. Makes sense he'd agree to pair up with a guy like Rubin in the end.

Reps for Rubin and Diddy didn’t comment. But a source close to Combs — who is said to be worth more than $820 million thanks to deals with Diageo’s Ciroc and a partnership with DeLeon tequila — told us, “Sean is absolutely serious about being in on the deal to buy the Panthers. This team is something he truly believes in.”

Sources say Rubin, who owns $4.5 billion online sportswear retailer Fanatics, is set on buying the Panthers, which was put up for sale in December after the team’s owner Jerry Richardson was accused of workplace misconduct.

Rubin — a close friend of Patriots owner Bob Kraftand many pro-athletes — is set to submit a bid for the Panthers, we’re told, and Tsai is on board to join an impressive ownership consortium, which they hope could yet include sports figures such as Steph Curry and music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. Tsai is already a 49 percent owner of the Brooklyn Nets.

A source told Page Six, “Rubin is putting a powerful bid for the Carolina Panthers. Under the bid, Rubin, would be the majority owner, with Tsai just behind. But Rubin also hopes to put together an incredibly diverse minority ownership team as part of his bid. He has been talking to Steph Curry and Diddy as minority owners. The initial bids are due tomorrow, the ownership structure can be declared at a later date.”

Sabates said he doesn't know if he'll keep it in Charlotte. I for one do not want some dude coming in here and taking the team out of Charlotte after a few years. And with the group of people he has on board, it wouldn't shock me if that would happen.

I don't know why any majority owner would want that loudmouth in his ownership group.

Rubin and Tsai alone would be lovely, but I guess they're not willing to put up that much.  

The idea of Diddy is funny, but yeahhhhh not sure I want him doing anymore Instagram videos spouting off about the North Carolina Panthers and seemingly not knowing Cam Newton is our QB.

Diddy Haters were you at?

 

Games going to be lit with Diddy in the skybox!

Yeh, because that turned out so great when Bob Johnson owned the Bobcats! Not everyone listens to Power 98

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
