Carolina Panthers
 PROFILE
The Carolina Panthers were formed in 1993 when former Baltimore Colts wide receiver Jerry Richardson bought the franchise for $140 million. The expansion team finished a respectable 7-9 in its inaugural 1995 season, then stocked up on free agents the following year to finish at 12-4 before losing to Green Bay in the NFC Championship. Carolina started play in Ericsson Stadium in 1996, but has stumbled since that stellar second season; it won only four games in 1998 but rallied in 1999 to finish 8-8. Despite its recent showings, the relatively young team still ranks near the top of the league in revenue. The team, coached by former San Francisco coach George Seifert, is led by quarterback Steve Beuerlein.
