SP eventually came out and said that he was happy with going to Denver bc the owners are “players” when it comes to the power structure in the NFL. So, I’m assuming that left some desperate teams like Carolina out of it. I live in Charlotte and I know for sure Tepper wanted him badly.
Well, that's partly why I qualified my response. If Tepper wanted him that badly, he's gonna have to pay a premium, meaning 2 firsts, for Sean to stay in the division. Going to the opposite conference made the decision a lot easier.
