If JR Sells The Team, Doesn't He Decide Who To Sell To?

[beastson]

I really hate to be an asshole to the man cause it's his team, but can somebody stop him from making that decision? This poo is no joke, we need the right owner

[PantherNation123]

Yes we do.  Really the most pivotal moment we've had in our organization maybe ever.

Regardless, I am hopeful and truly believe we will land someone that cares much more about winning and less about the "shield" than JR has since our inception

I'm sure his desire would be to keep the team in Charlotte...that being said I hope he does have control and make it a condition of the deal.

The other owners have to approve it. It was already a topic of discussion in league meetings at March. Any new owner would have to sign like a 20 year commitment to Charlotte.

 

Jerry knew his days were numbered. That’s why he put his statue out there and bought the naming rights to unc Charlotte stadium. Trying to preserve his legacy.

since he's voluntarily selling the team, i would assume so

Among the other owner of this team and the other owners that make up the league. Of course.

[Growl]

Pretty confident Jerry will ensure he sells to somebody who is invested in keeping the team here.

How many dudes have a billion dollars laying around to buy a team? His pool of suitors is seems limited and it has to be the right person. This sounds hard as hell

[Piff]

Where the hell else would the team move to that would be a better market than the Carolinas? The team moving is the last thing to be concerned about.

He's not the only Panthers owner although he is the majority owner at about 60%, I believe. Others in the owner's group would have to agree IMO. It's not like when Ralph Wilson passed and left the Bills to his wife who sold the team. Wilson was a single owner. Plus, yes, the other 31 owners will have to approve the new owner and that new owner will be paying them a fee for buying the team, i.e. to join the club.

I don't know why people keep talking about moving. Where the hell would a team move to? LA is done, Las Vegas is locked up

St. Louis? Gtfoh

[rodeo]

whoever he sells it to it's going to be super boring, some suit who is already partial owner or investor who won't make many meaningful changes.

NFL has to approve any new owner because it's a franchise.
