Put yourself in RW shoes right now. He'd be lucky to have five more shots at winning the big game. What price would you sell for?

Re: Selling The Team
Huh? iF YOU MEAN MONEY(WHICH I DON'T THINK YOU DO).
-We would have no idea what kind of money this team is worth.
-What we do need is plans for the future. A Owner who wants to win. Not in the Dan Snyder way, but The Wayne Hyzinga way sounds good to me...The Ralph DOES want to win & SHOWED IT BY RETAINING Bobby April, but man od we need a jump start & soon...I think The Ralph should sell soon so he can work hands on with the new owner...Sooner the better for the teams sake IMO..

Re: Selling The Team
If I was RW i would leave the team to the City of Buffalo and turn it into a non-profit community owned team like the Packers. This will keep the team where it belongs in BUFFALO and provide income to the city of Buffalo.
Just my thoughts...@Hemlepp53

Re: Selling The Team
Forbes claims the team was worth $637m last fall.
I would put that at 570 now.
If I was Ralph, and I could get $500m for it with a guarantee it would stay in Buffalo, I would do it.
That would make his family comfortable for history, and ensure his legacy as a good guy.
If there was no such guarantee, I would do it for 550m.
Next year's collective bargaining agreement is going to be a huge argument in this discussion.Last edited by Captain gameboy; 08-13-2009, 07:38 PM.

I'd like to see this too, but it can't happen . The NFL rules changed some time back and don't allow the same situation that GB currently enjoys (community ownership). I wouldn't expect the other owners to make an exception for the Bills . They would love the Bills to go to a larger market . More money to split up!

Re: Selling The Team
I didn't start this thread to stir up all the banter about selling the team. I just thought of a new angle on why RW refuses to sell the team and I think it's an honorable one. He believes he has a chance to win a SB. It's the only thing he hasn't gotten done. His only chance to do this is to hold on to the team until at least that happens. Well, I don't know if you noticed but he's getting old...

But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

I just wish he was working behind the scenes with local buyers(if any exist) to get something in place upon his death.
