Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson put his National Football League franchise up for sale, hours after the league said it had taken over an investigation into allegations of workplace misconduct.

“I believe it is time to turn the franchise over to new ownership,” Richardson, 81, said in a letter posted on the team’s website Sunday night. “Therefore, I will put the team up for sale at the conclusion of this NFL season.”
