It's aggressive but is possible. Buffalo is finally an up and coming city that has been getting good economic press. Keeping the Bills will continue the Buffalo Renaissance. Losing the Bills would be catastrophic.

Originally posted by ProFootballTalk.comA quick sale would make it hard for current ownership to tie the hands of a new owner by agreeing to a stadium deal that keeps the team in place for, say, 20 or 30 years. Ultimately, the question becomes whether new principal owner Mary Wilson wants to maximize her return by selling to the highest bidder, even if that bidder would soon bid adieu to Western New York.

The out of towners will just have to deal with the fact that the team is staying in WNY and their 20 year dream of announcing the move will never happen.Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit

As has been said before, Mary Wilson wants to honor Ralph's legacy & keep the team in WNY.

Re: Source: Bills could have a new owner as early as October
It's not like Ralph's passing and plan to sell team after passing came as a huge surprise. NFL teams just do not come up for sale everyday. Investors probably have been planning this for years whether it be good or bad. When he died I am sure the investors reconvened and asked if anything changed and when they said they are in they are going full steam ahead.
It will not be hard to tell what are the intentions of the new owner. He has 6 years. If no long range plan is given to keep team in Buffalo it will be apparent within a couple years.

If the new ownership has any ties to Buffalo, the Bills will be staying & I think that will be the case.

Re: Source: Bills could have a new owner as early as October
I just want this whole thing to be over with.
If the team is going to move, just get it done so we can deal with it and get on with our lives.
If the team isn't going to move, just prove it so we can stop having these discussions.

Re: Source: Bills could have a new owner as early as October
to me, this all reads that the bills were looking to get a new stadium with NYS prior to the passing of ralph. and now, NYS and the stadium committee are pushing to get a deal done. Once that is set up and the subsidies for the new owners are hammered out, they'll announce who that new owner/ownership group is.
without knowing the inner workers of this, it seems like the bills longevity in buffalo looks brighter today than it did maybe 5-6 years ago. and if that ends up being the case, ralph really did want his legacy to be that he kept football in buffalo and he'll deserve a lot of credit.
