How do you know he hasn't tried to sell the team???
To be honest he has protected this team for years when others would buy and leave Buffalo....You have no idea what you are talking about so do assume....The only way this all going to happen is % of the team and investors.

Several people, not just Ralph Wilson, have gone on record that RW won't even discuss an offer for the team. So, if not discussing an offer is not willing to sell the team I don't know what is.

It would be all very small %, if it is even true

Re: Anybody hear 550 this AM?

By the looks of it, it's all based on Carucci's nfl.com article. Basically that says that Ralph is prepared to go that far, if the guy is right. Doesn't mean that he's going to do it, or that Shanahan would take it though.
I think what we are seeing here, is that Ralph is saying, 'You want commitment? Here's commitment!'
I think that a piece of the team, is actually not a bad thing either, in that it pretty much ensures the commitment of whatever coach it may be.

Commitment would be getting something done not talking about it.

Gets commitment from both sides in the deal.
You wouldn't be looking at any control level 'piece', but perhaps a 10-15% piece. That of itself, would represent rather a large bonus if the team were sold in the future.

sources close to Shanahan say that's what he wants.

Re: Anybody hear 550 this AM?

That is a good thing if its Shannahan becuase he will demand more power then a coach anyway. If and I say If we hire Shannahan I will tell you this team will not be in the bottom of offense ever. He will get the right QB for his system in here..

are you frigging nuts? 10% of the team is worth 100 million dollars. Why even bother paying him $12 M? What would the coaching commitment be for that kind of dough?
