REPORT: Navarro asks Peyton Manning to be part owner of Panthers

[CarolinaSamurai]

If Navarro can convince Peyton then he'd definitely have a better time beating out Tepper. Might help appease the other owners who are pushing the cheaper Tepper bid

I like it as well.  Seriously.  No BS.  Great football guy obviously.  The best?

Guy was a sexual harasser (allegedly), HGH user, as well as other nefarious activity, so maybe he’ll unleash the Kraken back where he belongs in black and blue as well.

Interesting. 

Very.

I'd add that one of the guys who's known to do consultant work for teams that are restructuring is a fellow by the name of Tony Dungy.

Only if we get to see this on the sidelines with Cam and company

Lot of posters on here like to make up poo and peddle  it as the real deal.  SanJuan is one of them.

The Real Deal?  Is Matt Moore coming back?

Smart move to curry favor with the NFL.

Fo m the outside looking in, it seems like Navarro really wants this and is doing everything in his power to make his bid very attractive while Tepper is just trying to low ball and use his favor among other owners to strong arm JR into accepting his less attractive offer.

Hopefully the other owners will wise up and see the situation for what it is and realize that while Tepper was the guy they originally wanted, Navarro is proving to be the guy most deserving.

I would love this. I have a lot of respect for him as a player. Could help market the team as well. He beat us in the SB, but it is what it is. Even if it is fake, I like the idea.

I like Peyton as well but HE didn’t beat us. He rode that defense like a gallant steed.

Perhaps Navarro believes Manning can read revenue charts.

Awesome

The last thing I want to see with the Panthers is Peyton fuging Manning. 

Never has someone had such undeserved fawning 

the Panthers have had enough issues with women.  Surely there is someone they can find who hasn’t

Every heterosexual male on planet earth has had issues with women.

I would laugh my ass off if Peyton asks Jerry if he can read the contract

Insult to injury after that superbowl they shouldn't have won...oh well, nothing surprises me anymore 

True, but now imagine what an incredible story the NFL will consider it to be to have Manning become a part owner and public face of the Panthers and seen as a mentor to Cam, all while returning to Superbowl glory to become the first former player to win a Superbowl as both a player and then part owner.

And if you think I'm bullshitting, you know they love drama and stories that sell...  otherwise, Peyton wouldn't have that second Superbowl win...

So, all of that being considered, this is a genius move by Navarro.  He knows what he's doing.  If he can get Peyton on with his bid, he gains instant favor and credibility with the NFL both in the short-term and long-term.

 That is true. Meant it more like he played on the team that beat us. Long day man.
