Nobody can predict with certainly who the new owner of the Bills will be. But I can predict this: He'll be a billionaire, and he'll have overpaid for the team Forbes valued at $870 million because, to the delight of Wilson's heirs, a lot of powerful men with egos have entered the bidding war.
Pegula's initial non-binding bid was reportedly for $1.3 billion and Trump's for $1 billion (cash). As buyers obtain more intimate details of the Bills' financial workings and meet face-to-face with a team representing Wilson's estate, it will soon be time to show their cards in the form of binding final bids. But even those are subject to being driven higher.
And when the sale of the Bills breaks the record $1.1 billion paid for the Miami Dolphins in 2009, the NFL's other 31 owners will be thanking Ralph Wilson's family and ultimately the new guy, gal or grossly rich financial entity for instantly putting more value into all of their franchises.
Here's ranking the Bills' owner candidates, either outed by the media or by themselves. (Trump and Bon Jovi apparently broke the non-disclosure agreement, like they care):
GO TERRY GO!!
