Bills strike new training camp pact with St. John Fisher

[justasportsfan]

“Having this new agreement that keeps our Training Camp at St. John Fisher College is tremendous,” said Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. “Everyone at the school does such a great job during our time there and it’s a first-class operation all the way. I talk to a number of players around the league and I’m thoroughly convinced that we have one of the best, if not the best, training camp in the NFL.”

That is good news. I think it is a great venue for training camp.

good news to help kill some more of the "they will move" rumors. If they move to LA, it sucks they have a binding agreement in Rochester, no?

any idea how long the deal is supposed to last? The article doesn't say.

I doubt a training camp deal is enough to block a move, but any contract that keeps things as they are makes a move less likely.

they do and they don't.

If there's a contract, it means it will have to be bought out before the team could be moved. If the Bills have a stadium deal and a training camp deal and some other potential LA franchise doesn't, it makes the Bills a more expensive and more complicated deal.

Again, a training camp deal is not an insurmountable obstacle, but any LA owners will be looking at spending somewhere between $650MM and $800MM to buy a team, plus stadium financing. They will be looking to take the path of least resistance and keep costs down.

I just read there is more opposition to the new Stadium in Minn. I would not really want to see them move either, but better them than Buffalo.

I think it should be a Califirnia team or Jax that does move. Of all the teams outside of Cal, Jax has the smallest fan base & least amount of history.
