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.

      Games been a snooze fest of sloppy play

      The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye 2025 Carolina Panthers 53-gayman roster prediction spectacular

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      ESPN's David Newton: QUARTERBACKS (2): Bryce Young, Andy Dalton A preseason muscle injury to Dalton's right arm could force the Panthers to keep Jack Plummer if the issue gets worse, but that currently doesn't seem to be a concern. For the first time since going No. 1 in 2023, there is no question that Young is the starter after winning two of his final three games last season with 10 touchdowns (7 passing, 3 rushing) and no turnovers. RUNNING BACKS (3): Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle, Trevor Etienne Selecting Etienne in the fourth round out of Georgia makes veteran Raheem Blackshear a likely cut. Etienne has shown in the preseason that he is a capable option as a runner, in addition to being a returner, which has been Blackshear's primary responsibility since 2022. WIDE RECEIVERS (7): Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, Jalen Coker, Jimmy Horn Jr., David Moore, Hunter Renfrow This is the most improved group on the team, so keeping seven initially makes sense. If the Panthers go with six it could make coach Dave Canales' favorite, Moore, expendable with Renfrow showing he's close to the level he played in 2021 when he made the Pro Bowl with the Las Vegas Raiders. Brycen Tremayne, who's had an excellent preseason, will be a tough cut. TIGHT ENDS (3): Tommy Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders, Mitchell Evans There is anticipation Tremble (back surgery) will be ready for the regular season after coming off the PUP list before the preseason finale, though he could still miss a game or two. Keeping him on the 53-man roster makes sense so she doesn't have to miss the first four games. OFFENSIVE LINEMEN (10): T Ikem Ekwonu, G Damien Lewis, G Robert Hunt, C Austin Corbett, C Cade Mays, T Taylor Moton, T Yosh Nijman, T-G Brady Christensen, G Chandler Zavala, G Jarrett Kingston Injuries to guards Lewis (strained shoulder) and Zavala (knee) plays a factor in keeping 10 instead of the nine predicted going into camp. The starting five returning from 2024 had a solid preseason, but the lackluster play of backups showed depth remains a concern. DEFENSIVE LINEMEN (6): DE Derrick Brown, NT Bobby Brown III, DE Tershawn Wharton, DE A'Shawn Robinson, NT Cam Jackson , DE Jaden Crumedy A shoulder injury that has kept fifth-round pick Jackson from making an impact means Crumedy could make it here. The biggest cut will be Shy Tuttle, who has 32 starts the past two years but little to show for it. Moving on from him will create $2.4 million in cap space that can be used elsewhere. LINEBACKERS (10): OLB D.J. Wonnum, OLB Patrick Jones II, OLB Princely Umanmielen, OLB Nic Scourton, OLB Thomas Incoom, ILB Christian Rozeboom, ILB Trevin Wallace, ILB Claudin Cherelus, ILB Jon Rhattigan, ILB Jacoby Windmon The release of ILB Josey Jewell (concussion protocol) at the start of camp required immediate attention, but Rozeboom has stepped up well. Depth remains a big question, particularly inside. Moving on from draft pick Bam Martin-Scott means he'll likely end up on the practice squad. It was time to move on from OLB DJ Johnson. Look for turnover beyond the starters here. CORNERBACKS (5): Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, Chau Smith-Wade, Shemar Bartholomew, Corey ThorntonJackson has played well enough at times to ease the concern opposite Pro Bowler Horn. Thorton's play during camp has been a big surprise, but the overall depth of this group means there likely will be turnover. SAFETIES (4): Tre'von Moehrig, Nick Scott, Demani Richardson, Lathan Ransom The big question is how long it will take fourth-round pick Ransom to replace Scott as the starter opposite Moehrig. Also, don't rule out another experienced player being signed. SPECIALISTS (3): K Ryan Fitzgerald, P Sam Martin, LS JJ Jansen Big-legged undrafted free agent Fitzgerald out of Florida State may have solidified his spot over Matthew Wright with a 52-yard field goal in the second preseason game against the Texans. The other two spots are solid, but Carolina likely will keep an eye out for dependable veterans who end up being released.
