The BOA sponsorship ends with the 2024 season, so this isn't really a premature conversation.  I expect it to be a major talking point next off-season after we see how successful the new regime is vs previous years.  Better team = higher demand to be associated with it 

Other reports suggest an increase to $8-10m/year, which may lean towards a 10 year contract vs BOA's 20 year investment. I can't see a company paying $200m (20 yr at $10m, assuming it's a one-time payment)    and there are only so many businesses that can fork over $10m/yr without issue

I think the going rate to be an "Official Sponsor of the Carolina Panthers", at least within the industry I work in, is roughly 5 million per year.

I would assume the naming rights to the stadium might be significantly higher.

Whatever it is, I suspect there will be some tea leaves to read regarding timing of a new stadium, which would fetch huge dollars by itself. Also have to keep in mind that there'll be other stadiums coming too which could take some potential sponsors, including new ones in Buffalo, Nashville, and DC (which will almost certainly have their pick of sponsors in a mega-deal to compete with Bezos). In fact, I think a new DC stadium could break the $500m sponsorship mark.

That being said, my contenders would be:

American Airlines Field due to the Charlotte hub, but I'm not sure airlines are throwing money like this at sponsorships anymore.

I also think it could be a random one like:

Samsung Stadium--but then again this feels like the name for a new (or heavily renovated) stadium. The tech upgrades, customer experience, and product placement takes care of itself. All the video boards, ribbon boards, monitors, wifi, everything--all Samsung and probably special features for Samsung phone owners (like me! 👍).

Too tight of a timeframe to tie it to a new stadium (if a new stadium is going to happen -- which may or may not).

Doubtful it would be Samsung -- any tie-ins would have to be with the carrier vs the device, hence t-mobile or verizon (AT&T is already taken), because that integration is easier and more likely to showcase connectivity for potential new customers vs people without a device not seeing a benefit.

Samsung could be the "official Big Screen", but I can't see them as being stadium sponsor.

      Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.

      It definitely needs more specificity than is baked in now.

      The weirdest encounter I had with a pro athlete was waiting in line at security at Mile High Stadium when I used to get the company suite tickets almost every week because I was the only employee based in Colorado. There's a small checkpoint accessing the suites that virtually no one knows about that you can usually squirt right through. I was standing there and looked over my shoulder and there stands John fuging Elway waiting in line behind me.  This was during the The Golden Calf of Bristol season right before he became GM. I just said "They make YOU go through security?" He's like "Yeah, ain't that a bitch. I literally have a statue out front and I gotta go through security like everybody else." I've heard mixed things about him but he was super nice and down to earth with me that day.
