I don't see how Tepper is in the running since there's a FOUR HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR difference in the bids.

One, you're allowed to increase your bid. Two, while everyone expects Richardson to pick the highest bidder, he's not guaranteed to do that, and the NFL has been lobbying for him to choose Tepper.

Just saw an item online that said Tepper sold off a bunch of airline stock. Didn't think anything about it at the time, and don't know how much he got for it, but it occurs to me that he could conceivably be seeking some liquid cash in preparation to up his bid.

I wouldn't bet on that alone being enough to make up the difference, but it could be part of something larger.

Because he's the guy the NFL wants and the other owners have to approve the sale.

Ultimately though, he's probably gonna have to increase his bid if he ultimately wants to be chosen. I don't think for a moment that he's unaware of this. He's probably just trying to see exactly how much of a lowball offer he can get away with.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      fuging Christ dude this isnt hard.  Like at all.  I get you simping for this poo team is your thing but sometimes you have to look at reality.   Even removing his bum knee from the equation, none of this made sense.  He is 31.  He has been paid handsomely for his service here.  He was currently under contract for this season.  Why in the holy fug did anything have to be done 2 weeks before the season started.   The people for this move, in this thread are saying A) He deserved it (this is the nfl it doesnt work like that  B) It frees up cap space (then why in the fug didnt we do this in Feb or C) You logic (We are getting a deal at 53 million guaranteed for the next 3 years.   You realize with this deal we cannot cut or trade his ass for 3 years.  You understand this right?   So in my opinion we should have let this ride into the offseason and go from there, what he is going to threaten to walk, big fuging deal he would be 32 on a chronically bad knee, what other moronic franchise is going to give him 40 million up front?  It wasnt going to happen.   And you are acting like its impossible to replace a 32 year old RT with a bum knee.  Just go and draft someone, move Icky to RT.  There are tons of options instead of extending this dude 2 weeks before the fuging season.  The truth is Morgan and the shitheads in the FO fell for this dudes crying act and got all sentimental and shelled out another ext.  We are a poverty ass franchise that doesnt act professionally

      Amazing what the prospect of being traded to Carolina will do for contract negotiations.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      5 Im glad football is back but after the embarrassment that was the browns pre season game where our starting D made Sanders look like a serviceable NFL QB, I lost hope again for a successful Panthers campaign this year.  I do hope I’m wrong!
