The Carolina Panthers franchise is now valued at 8.1 billion dollars. This figure, reported by the Charlotte Business Journal, marks a 42 percent increase from the team’s previous valuation last year. The current assessment is more than double the amount David Tepper paid to purchase the team in 2018. Despite the growth, the Panthers rank 26th among the 32 teams in the NFL. Off the field, the team faces immediate personnel concerns as the season begins. Running back Jonathon Brooks may miss the opening game of the regular season due to injury. The front office continues to manage the roster as the team moves into the new campaign.
