    Is it possible....

    that Jim Kelly's people are going to own the Bills soon and are fueling these $10-12 million offers?

    Wow. I thought the same thing, SAB.

    What if Ralph is letting them buy a small piece and they're telling him to spend it on the front office. It's not a bad guess at all. Either way, Kelly and the other former players like Thurman,Talley etc. are pleading with Ralph to spend the $$ up top.

            If indeed it is true, and this is how the new Kelly regime is going to start, then we're in for some crazy things such as we've never even imagined...Sadly though Sab I highly doubt it.

              i don't know. what is the highest salary of the current NFL coach? $6-7 million??? i find it hard to believe that Wilson ALONE would be throwing out $10-12 million offers. i even heard he's offering a piece of the team. after years of penny pinching, what gives with the splurging all of a sudden? i think there's more to the story than what we know.

                  Yes.

                  I think Ralph may sell the team BEFORE he dies, so he can sell it to whomever he wants and keep it right here in Buffalo.

                  Cash to cap, all the cap clearing, maybe be partly to get a quality HC and give him a fresh team which can be built his way, and/or to get the team ready to sell.

                    Yes, the sale must be approved by the league. But the league wont turn down a sale which keeps them here.

                      Totally agree.

                      I do think that Ralph might have finally realized that the last time he went to the SB was with a HOF head coach and that its probably going to take another one to get back there.

                      Dockery, Walker, Evans, and TO make a decent argument that he isn't cheap.

                      I think part of it is that they so under spent over the past few seasons that they have a large cash reserve and want to splurge some of it to get a proven HC.

                          That was not the point I was making. My point was this would be made public? Correct?

                            Won't matter who the coach is with the QB the Bills currently have on the roster.

                            I'd rather see a new GM first.

                              How do you know? The league consists of the other NFL owners you know. Most of those guys would do anything to get rid of revenue sharing.
