Another bidder has emerged in the race to buy the Carolina Panthers: Michael Rubin, the owner of sports apparel retailer Fanatics.

Sources say Rubin -- whose primary home is in Pennsylvania and who owns a stake in the Philadelphia 76ers, New Jersey Devils and the Premier League team Crystal Palace -- is considered a serious bidder in the race to buy the first NFL team up for sale in 3 ½ years.

When reached Sunday morning, Rubin declined to comment.

Rubin enters the fray with formal bids due in a couple of weeks, as NFL ownership would prefer to get a deal approved by the owners meetings in May

Rubin, who is worth $3 billion according to Forbes, is a more familiar name for NFL owners, many of whom have already embraced him over the years. Fanatics runs the NFL's online store and sells more NFL-licensed gear than any other business in the world.
