Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera said he was surprised and disappointed to learn on Sunday that owner Jerry Richardson, amid allegations of workplace misconduct, planned to put the team up for sale after the 2017 season.

But Rivera made it clear that the Panthers, 10-4 and tied with New Orleans atop the NFC South, will continue to "go forward'' with their playoff push and let the investigation by the NFL into Richardson's conduct play out.

Oakland would be nice for the loyal fans there.

If I'm a player I'd hate to move out of the country....

Can Oklahoma sustain a football team?

Would London based team be able to retain talent? That’s always been an issue with Canadian teams in basketball. Regardless I think that’s the Jaguars future Home

San Antonio and Salt Lake City are most intriguing options

OKC Thunder seem to be doing just fine and they have a bigger market than places like...

Oklahoma City 638,367 (2016)
Minneapolis 413,651 (2016)
Pittsburgh 303,625 (2016)
Salt Lake City 193,744 (2016)

Didn’t realize how small Salt Lake City was I would pass in that plus not sure Mormons are allowed to watch football on sundays lol

They aren't leaving Charlotte or at least they shouldn't. Charlotte is growing and has a strong economy. They have a strong fan base. This article is click bait journalism.

That is deceptive... If you count the metro areas OKC has 1.3Mil and Pittsburgh has 2.3mil

Just used Googles first search result thanks for the update.

Surprised as well if it wasn't for all the Mormons I might consider moving there to get away from all the craziness of big cities.

Oklahoma Panthers vs Dallas Cowboys/Houston Texans would be a good rivalry.
