the raiders thing was because they were building a stadium and ran into some construction overages iirc. So it was like one year where cash was a little light and middle of Covid I think or something.
I remember a story of haslam buying the browns and the league asked him if he wanted any investors cause there is a long list of people who want to buy percentages of teams but not the whole thing. He was like no thanks my wire is on the way im paying cash.
