Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry replied to the tweet, saying he wants in as well. Curry grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina and is an avid Panthers fan.

No NFL team signed Kaepernick this season following his national anthem protest controversy.
Forbes.com lists Michael Jordan, Joe Gibbs, and Mark Cuban as other possible candidates to buy the Panthers.
Richardson, 81, allegedly made verbal comments about women and inappropriately touched female employees.
