Quick note on the sale

Podcast: Expert predicts surprising sale price for the Carolinas Panthers

For those who choose to save their clicks, the prediction is at least 2.75 billion dollars, and maybe even higher.

(now say that number in your best Dr Evil voice; you know you want to)

The guy doing the predicting is sports business analyst Jeffrey Moorad, a former owner of the San Diego Padres and a longtime associate of super agent Leigh Steinberg.

One other detail: It had been reported by Page Six that bids on the team were due this past Monday. That's actually not true. What was due this week was each potential bidder's initial pitch for ownership, i.e. "here's how I'd run the team if I owned it". 

Actual bidding might still a few weeks away. That's the "meat" that Katie Peralta was talking about recently. We should definitely hear some news when that process begins.

Interesting.

Would there be any access or hints to the kind of pitches made, or is that all confidental at this point?

I think you might have a better chance of hacking into the CIA database.

You never know, though. Things get leaked sometimes. It's possible.

That makes sense. There is a lot more to digest on intent than purchase price.  Any idea where these meetings are taking place?  

Probably wherever the law firm's offices are located. New York, I think, but don't quote me.

I was thinking the same thing.  The reason I ask is that local media is doing a shoddy job if the bidders are coming to JR in CLT for bids.  Honestly I would like a media source outside the NY firm to confirm arrival of Panthers front office (similar to media outside owners meetings.)  I have to imagine Jerry Richardson is there in person to hear these pitches.  I also imagine the pitches are done in person by the bidders.  It would just be neat to use good old fashioned eyeball journalism to see who comes and goes to these meeting to help confirm/deny the bidding parties.  I think I care about this far more than the media does alas.  Maybe if I win the powerball I can stick a PI on this.

I predict a much lower sale price if no bidding war happens.

I think that stands to reason, but I actually have thought that the exact opposite would happen. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the sale ended at over three billion.

Kinda wonder whether the Saints will be sold now or if Benson's wife and kids plan to keep it.

If it's announced that the Saints are going to be for sale while our sale is still pending you gotta wonder if that's going to have an effect.

Don't think it will effect our sale. Panthers are a better team to buy.  We have a stadium and the PSL's in a growing market.

      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.
