Rubin was told $2.5b minimum which is a $300k premium over Teppers offer. Navarro is being blamed for not being able to raise cash even though he offered $400k above Teppers offer. Thats considering that navarro should get the team for cheaper since hes local and likely much more passionate about the teams success. It's great that all of a sudden raising cash is a red flag, meanwhile Jimmy haslem flew through the vetting process while running a completely corrupt business. Oh wait... Haslem was ALSO a rooney guy, minority steelers owner who the owners knew. Hmmm.......

Tepper was sold to because the owners knew him and vetted him. Because Richardson likes rooney. Tepper isn't local. He's a diehard steelers fan. He may be the richest and offered the most cash, but he didn't even put in the highest bid. If I'm a panthers fan I'd want a guy whose local and roots for my team,especially knowing there are plenty of more than competitive offers. I know, what a weird wish list. Damn obvious the league was in the can for Tepper because hes an inner circle guy.

Pretty much everywhere on Twitter that this move was made because he was already a part owner and the other owners knew him. Every insider is saying this.

Also, Ben navarro met league financing requirements.

This was a croney move by the ownership inner circle. Plain and simple. It's not a bad move. But it's indicative of why the NFL is stuck.
