ORLANDO, Fla. -- There has been "unprecedented interest" in the sale of the Carolina Panthers, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday as the annual owners meeting came to a close.
He didn’t expand on what "unprecedented" meant in this case other than to say, "we’re excited about that."
The price will certainly be unprecedented and set the standard for the sale of teams expected to come on the market in the next five years.
While Bloomberg reported last week that the top bid was $2.5 billion, multiple sources told ESPN.com the figure is closer to between $2.
