So here's what we know: The Carolina Panthers will be up for sale at the end of 2017. Apparently, the current owner Jerry Richardson announced he would sell the franchise amid allegations of sexual misconduct. 

Well his loss seems like it could be Diddy's gain because he wants to buy the winning team! In a video he posted on social media, the Bad Boy rapper says he will be the “best NFL owner that you can imagine.” 

He also went on to say he would bring in Colin Kaepernick to compete against Cam Newton for the starting quarterback’s job and vowed to bring in the “best halftime show.” ...“It’s just competition, baby,” Diddy added.

We see you Diddy!

Colin Kaepernick saw his video and says he wants in too!

"I want in on the ownership group! Let’s make it happen!" the former NFL quarterback Tweeted. 

As does Steph Curry:

But before y'all celebrate, Diddy may be rich, but he may not have all the money to secure the team....he'll need a little help from a few friends. Like Oprah! 

According to Bleacher Report, Diddy's net worth is estimated at $820 million by Forbes. That will not be nearly enough to buy the Panthers, who are valued at $2.3 billion, which could easily go up to $3 billion. 

Not to mention, even with Curry and Kap's paychecks, the three of them still may not have the coins to see this through. Curry earned $47.3 million in 2017 and Kaepernick made just $39.4 million over the life of his contract with the San Francisco 49ers, which was reported at the time to be worth $126 million. 

Either way, folks are here for this dream:

We have hope that anything is possible, especially if more folks jump in with their money. Obama, Oprah and JAY-Z are coming to mind.
