Tepper is the NFLs Wealthiest Owner

Does it really matter though? Because he's wealthier than everyone else does that mean he'll ask for less tax money when he decides to build his new stadium in Fort Mill?

Just playing devil's advocate here but when you get to be in that position, the money doesn't matter. It's all about respect (i.e. what the other 31 think of you).

I assumed that he was after Paul Allen passed.

Yup.

If the test was liquid cash in 60-days Mr. David Tepper would probably be the richest owner by about a factor of 10x vs. the current list.....Big Tepp could probably produce a minimum of $6 billion in cash in 60-days, Jerry Jones would struggle to ante up $500 million (tapping credit lines not allowed).

All that said, Bezos is likely to be the next owner of the Seahawks.....game over in the "richest owner" sweepstakes once Bezos enters the league....

....but, still a big advantage to having the 2nd richest owner!

(if we could only get him to reverse course on that distraction #35)

Yes, it definitely matters.

First and foremost "The Big Cat" ran the team in order to produce profits for himself and his partners, wins were jobs 8, 9 and 10. 

For Tepper this is a hobby, he has no partners, making money is way down the list of priorities (in fact, it's irrelevant) for Big Tepp....

....questions?

I mean he has some cheddar...whatever.

Yeah he didn't get rich by not wanting to make money. He is already tapping into using BOA to make money in the offseason.   Season ticket prices went up this season. He isnt in this to lose money. Making money will always be priority 1 winning 2nd.

Not so fast. He may not be anytime soon, if at all.

Wait...I was assured by Sanjay that Jeff Bezos was buying the Panthers.

You mean he was never even in the running? 

What's that? Michael Jordan wasn't either?

Completely disagree.

If making money were "priority 1" Mr. Tepper never would have bought the team in the 1st place.

This is a hobby for him and the overarching goal is to field a winner.  The reason we know this to be true is because of the time & effort he is personally investing into the situation....he would apply those resources (time & effort) elsewhere if making money were the goal.  

The business of an NFL team can never produce returns that are meaningful to Tepper, doesn't move the needle for a guy with money like he has.

thats why the internet created the /s for sarcasm.  So many posters think the salary cap in the NFL works like baseball or soccer.  

So you’re saying we can’t sign Williams to a 13 year billion dollar contract?

[mc52beast]

I’m just hoping Tepper doesn’t visit the same establishments that Kraft does
