Lucky 6

Panthers owner and founder Jerry Richardson will miss the NFL annual meetings for the second consecutive year, a team spokesman said Thursday.

Panthers spokesman Steven Drummond said Richardson is in good health, but two long flights in a short span to and from Phoenix, the site of next week’s meetings, would be too taxing on him.

Richardson, who will turn 81 in July, did not attend last year’s league-wide gathering in Florida because he had scheduled shoulder surgery the same week.

Former team president Danny Morrison represented the Panthers at the owners table in 2016. But Morrison resigned in February and the team has not named his successor.

The Panthers’ six-member executive team will vote on behalf of Richardson in Phoenix, according to Drummond.

Since Richardson won't be attending the meeting, who are the lucky 6 executive team members that will?

I'd imagine the names would come from this list:

Who? Unknown. Only person I'd feel comfortable guessing is Richard Thigpen (team counsel). Maybe Charlie Drayton.

I sincerely doubt it's Jackie Miles or someone in another functional position like that. Also don't see it being Gettleman or Beane, but I could be wrong.

They might send the Head Groundskeeper, Tom Vaughan. 

You never know with the Panthers...

If the Big Cat cant handle two three-hour flights (ive made that east-coast-to-Phoenix trip many times), then it kinda makes me worry about his health, no matter what the team reps say. i realize he is really getting long in the tooth now, but at 81, you still ought to be able to handle those two trips, especially a few days to a week apart
