As expected by everyone with knowledge of the situation, the NFL owners have approved the sale of the Carolina Panthers to David Tepper by vote at the owners’ meetings in Atlanta today.
The final price — which was reported by the Charlotte Observer — is expected to be $2.275 billion, $2.2 billion of which will be paid in cash. (Editor’s note: That’s a lot of money.)
While the news release from the team did not include financial details, a source close to the matter told the Observer that the final price Tepper will pay is $2.
