Broncos are worth way more than $2B.  Forbes has them worth 3.75b. 

Right, so he can ‘afford’ to buy 12% of the team if he sinks everything into it. Aren’t there rules stating how much auxiliary cash owners have on hand to have for operational stuff?

Sounds like he is either being given money by the nfl to buy the team (free loans or grants) or financing rules are being changed for him.

Its the NFL trying to save face with a black candidate.  The other owners aren't going to allow the Bronco's to be sold for 2B because it lowers the worth of the other owners.  It will sell closer to 4b and to someone with deeper pockets.  If he is part of a plan to buy at 4b...he may be the face but he isn't "the" owner.  Someone else will be majority.

We’ll see. He’s definitely getting the team if Roger is asking him to do it.

I bet he’ll have a large ownership group with him securing the controlling spot via direct NFL financing.

The other owners are effectively buying themselves a minority owner.

You're a troll so, not really taking you seriously but our new training facility is telling you to gfy.

No offense, but I'd take smart coaches training the team in a rundown schoolyard over dumb coaches training in the best facilities available ten times out of ten.

High five to you're reply but this thread was / is about ownership, I thought?

Striking out on your first coach, if that's what turns out to be the end case, is nothing to burn the house down about.  We can only really judge him by his ability to adapt and overcome.

I'd say realistically, it takes at least five years to figure out what you have in an owner. I want to say ten years, given how hard it is to find an elite coach but.. I'll concede with five.

they want a token, just like you

Stirs couldn't have hand-picked a better candidate himself. Allen is partnered with Sinclair Broadcasting(remember the 'fake news' script they forced their affiliates to read on-air), and co-owns FoxSports. So now the NFL will be able to use FoxSports AND ESPN as their mouthpieces with less pushback.

So how is this going to work? 
 

Current rules state the majority owner must own at least 30% of a franchise.

If Byron liquidated everything he owns, he could only buy 22% (assuming a $2B price).

Are they going to give him a huge discount or something or his he taking on a massive pile of debt.

Edit: The team is worth $3B.

Yeah I can't see any possible way he winds up as majority owner of the Broncos. Involved in a group with someone else behind the scenes as majority owner but Byron basically running the team is more likely. Odds are though that some richer billionaire just buys it outright like Tepper did, there will be no shortage of suitors. Bezos may be one...

I wonder who he will add to his ownership group to get the rest of the money. No way his net worth of $450M will get the job done alone.

That's not an accurate net worth for him.  He's a billionaire.  He owns the Weather Channel and recently settled a lawsuit with Comcast and Charter Communications.  That net worth reading of 450 is likely old.  He will likely be a majority owner with no need for a group.

      Panthers to work out UFL OPOY Hakeem Butler

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      Another source: NFL Rumors: Hakeem Butler to Visit Panthers After UFL Success, Wade Phillips' Praise ZACH BACHAR JUNE 10, 2024 The Carolina Panthers are expected to conduct a workout with UFL wide receiver Hakeem Butler, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Butler recorded a league-leading 652 receiving yards as a member of the St. Louis Battlehawks. He was previously a fourth-round draft pick by the Arizona Cardinals in 2019. After the Battlehawks were defeated by the San Antonio Brahmas in the XFL Conference title game, Brahmas head coach and longtime NFL coach Wade Phillips told the receiver that "I'm going to tell everybody in the NFL that I talk to that you need to be playing," via Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk. Despite the loss by St. Louis, Butler still hauled in six receptions for a team-high 59 receiving yards. The 28-year-old was named the 2024 UFL Offensive Player of the Year, as he was one of only two wideouts to have multiple games with at least 100 receiving yards. While the Panthers added Diontae Johnson and first-round rookie Xavier Legette to their wide receiver room in the offseason, they could still use some depth in the form of Butler. Carolina isn't opposed to picking up former UFL players, as Rapoport revealed on Thursday that the team is also "expected" to sign All-UFL receiver Daewood Davis. Although Butler was selected by the Cardinals in the 2019 draft, he did not play as a rookie due to a hand injury and only appeared in two regular-season games as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2020. He did not record a catch. Butler signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers during the 2023 offseason, although he ultimately didn't make the team's regular-season roster. At 6'5", he has the frame to potentially make an impact in training camp and earn a shot at making Carolina's 53-man roster. If his workout goes well with the Panthers, Butler could give himself another chance to possibly return to the NFL.

      They have all the rookies. The DC game has Ron though. With the new QB. It is weird.  pantherclaw, Bryce sort of is what he is, and in Madden he makes throws the real Bryce can’t make. Here and there. He ain’t ain’t a top QB in Madden though, lots of picks. aone of them lol was the throw that scares the hell out of me when he throws it, out to the boundary... quack quack.
