Will do some stuff on this later. Probably won't add too much for a while.

Welp... I guess the first thing to add here now is that we have the toughest strength of schedule for 2013

And Gettleman's first roster move with the Panthers is signing DT Colin Cole.

According to an article I just read on the ESPN app, JR said he has turned down two buyers about purchasing the team, but he does in fact plan on selling the team BEFORE he dies due to the tax implications. So it looks like we'll have a new owner within the next 5 or so years now. At least whoever buys the team won't be able to relocate.

I was hoping to see specifics of the deal made between city/state and the team but haven't been able to find it. I heard Bruton Smith is an interested party. I hope for Panther Fans' sake that he isn't the future owner. He will continue to bully the city for more and more money until it isn't feasible anymore.

I was hoping to see specifics of the deal made between city/state and the team but haven't been able to find it. I heard Bruton Smith is an interested party. I hope for Panther Fans' sake that he isn't the future owner. He will continue to bully the city for more and more money until it isn't feasible anymore. Here's everything I've read as of yesterday: --Nothing has been finalized yet. JR is proposing to receive funding from both the city AND the state. --The deal calls for the city of Charlotte to give the team $143 million from a food and beverage tax increase paid out over the next 15 years. The city and the team have reached a tentative agreement on this, but they still need to have this approved by the state first. --JR told lawmakers yesterday he would like to receive $62 million from the state and would also seeking approval of the tax increases the team and the city have agreed to. --If (but more likely "when") all sides agree on what has been proposed by JR and the deal is finalized, it will guarantee the Panthers will stay in Charlotte for at least another 15 years... so no matter who the new owner ends up being, if/when this deal is finalized, there's NO WAY they will be able to relocate the team until 2027. No ifs, ands, or buts. JR has reiterated he has NO plans to relocate the team and, considering he has turned down 2 potential buyers already, it's safe to say he won't sell the team either until this deal is done and it's guaranteed the team will remain in Charlotte for 15 more years. Hope that clears it up for you.

On a separate note, NFL.com has a poll up on the front page asking "which potential landing spot for Greg Jennings intrigues you the most?" and the 3 main choices are Cowboys, Dolphins, and Panthers, with Other being the fourth option. Can anyone tell me why we are even considered as a top potential team for him? I feel like I've missed something somewhere b/c with the cap situation the way it is right now, I don't see any chance in hell of us signing him or any other big name FA this offseason. So is this just them randomly throwing out 3 teams or has there legitimately been real talk about us signing Jennings in the past few weeks?
