Tepper, a hedge fund manager who now owns 5 percent of the Pittsburgh Steelers, is worth about $11 billion according to Forbes, and would pay for the deal in cash, according to a source.

According to Rapoport, an agreement is expected to happen which would allow for a vote on the sale by NFL owners at the Spring League Meeting in Atlanta, May 21-23.

The Panthers have been for sale since December when Owner Jerry Richardson was accused of sexual misconduct and agreed to put up the team for sale.

The purchase has to get the approval from the National Football League financial committee and then three-fourths approval from the 32 team owners.

Tepper attended Peabody High School and is a graduate Carnegie Mellon University, where the business school is named after him.
