The NFL owners have approved the sale of the Carolina Panthers to David Tepper, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com, who added that "the deal will be official in July, but today's vote solidified that he's in."
Tepper is reportedly paying $2.2 billion to buy the team.
Former Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson is selling the organization in the wake of the sexual harassment and racism claims made against him.
Richardson stepped down from running the organization and announced he would sell the team at the conclusion of the 2017 season after he was accused of sexual harassment by several Panthers' employees.
