Does it really matter though? Because he's wealthier than everyone else does that mean he'll ask for less tax money when he decides to build his new stadium in Fort Mill?

Just playing devil's advocate here but when you get to be in that position, the money doesn't matter. It's all about respect (i.e. what the other 31 think of you).

I assumed that he was after Paul Allen passed.

Yup.

If the test was liquid cash in 60-days Mr. David Tepper would probably be the richest owner by about a factor of 10x vs. the current list.....Big Tepp could probably produce a minimum of $6 billion in cash in 60-days, Jerry Jones would struggle to ante up $500 million (tapping credit lines not allowed).

All that said, Bezos is likely to be the next owner of the Seahawks.....game over in the "richest owner" sweepstakes once Bezos enters the league....

....but, still a big advantage to having the 2nd richest owner!

(if we could only get him to reverse course on that distraction #35)

Yes, it definitely matters.

First and foremost "The Big Cat" ran the team in order to produce profits for himself and his partners, wins were jobs 8, 9 and 10. 

For Tepper this is a hobby, he has no partners, making money is way down the list of priorities (in fact, it's irrelevant) for Big Tepp....

....questions?

Yeah he didn't get rich by not wanting to make money. He is already tapping into using BOA to make money in the offseason.   Season ticket prices went up this season. He isnt in this to lose money. Making money will always be priority 1 winning 2nd.

Not so fast. He may not be anytime soon, if at all.

Completely disagree.

If making money were "priority 1" Mr. Tepper never would have bought the team in the 1st place.

This is a hobby for him and the overarching goal is to field a winner.  The reason we know this to be true is because of the time & effort he is personally investing into the situation....he would apply those resources (time & effort) elsewhere if making money were the goal.  

The business of an NFL team can never produce returns that are meaningful to Tepper, doesn't move the needle for a guy with money like he has.

thats why the internet created the /s for sarcasm.  So many posters think the salary cap in the NFL works like baseball or soccer.  

So you’re saying we can’t sign Williams to a 13 year billion dollar contract?

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
