High-powered California political officials have been courting Carolina owner Jerry Richardson in the hopes of bringing the Panthers to Los Angeles with no luck to date, Adam Scehfter of ESPN reports citing one source familiar with the discussions.
Richardson has been polite and steadfast that he is committed to Charlotte and is not moving the Panthers.
The only scenario in which he would listen would be if Charlotte balked at helping him with some of the stadium renovations the Panthers have been seeking.
What Los Angeles officials discovered was that the Panthers are one of four NFL teams -- along with the Redskins, Patriots and Dolphins -- that own their own stadium and do not have to break any leases or go through any litigation to move. Source: The Redzone Attached Thumbnails
