Former Panthers owner Jerry Richardson got $2.275 billion from David Tepper for the team Richardson founded in 1995. He maybe could have gotten a little bit more than that.
In lieu of what could have been more money Jonathan Bullard Jersey , Richardson possibly secured a concession regarding a certain statue of a certain someone who founded the team in 1995.
Via Joe Person of the Charlotte Observer, Tepper said during his first press conference as owner of the team that he’s “contractually obligated” to keep the statue.
It’s possible that the situation has more to do with city ownership of the land on which the statue is situated, and that the limits of the team’s lease could keep it from making changes like, say Billy Price Jersey , knocking down the statue of the man who was forced to sell the team after reports emerged of allegations of workplace misconduct.
Regardless, citing the terms of a contractual agreement is a far cry from, “We’re keeping it up because I want to.”
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff made enormous strides during his second year in the NFL. He made it to the Pro Bowl as an alternate after passing for 3,804 yards with 28 touchdowns with just seven interceptions as the Rams made the postseason for the first time since 2004.
While there are many things that could have influenced Goff in his improvement Darian Stewart Jersey , Goff credits at least some of his growth from finding an edge again.
According to Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com, Goff said during a Q&A session on Monday that he struggled to find an edge during his rookie campaign.
Goff said he had an edge in college at the University of California-Berkeley because he wasn’t a highly touted prospect coming out of high school in Kentfield, Calif. After being the No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, it was a more challenging sense to create. Having struggled during his rookie season George Iloka Jersey , Goff again has reason to feel doubted and the edge was back.
Of course, that’s not the only reason Goff improved significantly last season. Head coach Sean McVay helped institute an offense that played well to Goff’s strengths. He was supported by a stellar year from the team’s defense and running back Todd Gurley, and Robert Woods, Sammy Watkins and Cooper Kupp gave him a more dynamic receiving corps to work with.
If Goff needs to find that edge to succeed Taven Bryan Jersey , he may have a bit more trouble finding it this season given the success of his sophomore campaign. However, there are now expectations heaped on the Rams to win the NFC West and make an extended playoff run. That might be all Goff needs to find that little bit extra to carry him this season.
