Browns' Joe Thomas vows to buy Panthers if he gets 1 million retweets
Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Joe Thomas wants to be the next owner of the Carolina Panthers.
Following Monday's announcement that Jerry Richardson plans to put the Panthers up for sale amid sexual and racial misconduct allegations, Thomas said he'll buy the team if he gets one million retweets.
1 million retweets and I’ll buy the @Panthers

Thomas was, of course, just joking. He has a base salary of $10.3 million for 2018, while the Panthers are expected to be sold for upwards of $2 billion.
1) We would not sign a punter, for there would be no use when we go for it on every 4th down. 2) We would not sign a kicker, for there would be no use when we go for it on every 4th dn. 3) We immediately rename the team the Carolina Mission BBQs

I’m going to go the @packers route and sell “shares” of the team for $200 each to anyone who wants to join my ownership group. 12.5mm shares available! Hurry, there’s not many left!
