Brett Jensen from WFNZ claims on twitter at 11AM that he'll break some panthers news

Who knows how true this is. It could have been a formal offer, it could have been an offhanded "you know you could get $1.25B right?" or it could have been made up.

 

However, goodell has toughened up the rules saying teams must:

 

Evaluate all stadium opportunities in its existing market, and consult with league staff on those. Unstated by Goodell, but implied by the NFL, is that the Raiders, for instance, would have to explain why it would be more practical to relocate than share a stadium in Santa Clara with the 49ers.

 

JR could probably get around it as he is a staunch NFL supporter. But it would be pretty tough to convince anyone that the stadium is a problem given that we paid for it, it is in great shape and it is getting $200M of renovations. Add to that the fact we sell out every game for a below average franchise and it would be pretty spectacular if a move was approved.

As big a critic of Jensen as I am, I would indeed call Jerry Richardson turning down an offer of 1.25 billion dollars to sell the team and move it to L.A. a newsworthy story.

It sure as heck isn't "breaking news", but it's worthy of discussion.

That said, although it's definitely plausible, I'm going to need corroboration from somebody more credible than Jensen before I'm ready to completely buy into it.
