NFL owners are expected to approve hedge fund manager David Tepper as the next owner of the Carolina Panthers on Tuesday, ushering in a new era of leadership for the team that Jerry Richardson brought to the Carolinas nearly 25 years ago.
Tepper is expected to meet with the NFL's eight-man finance committee for a recommendation before appearing before the rest of the owners for a vote in the afternoon at the spring meetings at the Whitley Hotel in Buckhead.
