There are reportedly just two bidders remaining in the impending sale of the Carolina Panthers.
On Monday, Ken Belson of the New York Times reported Ben Navarro, who owns Sherman Financial Group, and Alan Kestenbaum, who is the chief executive of Bedrock Industries, are the two primary bidders still in the running.
Belson cited sources who said Navarro offered $2.6 billion in his bid.
According to Belson, the field is down to just two after hedge-fund billionaire David Tepper and Fanatics owner Michael Rubin each dropped out because they "balked at the asking price of at least $2.
