I have a bad feeling that the lack of a cap/CBA is the beginning of the end for the Buffalo Bills. It's not going to happen overnight, but 10-15 years down the road we're in trouble. As player salaries increase and teams like the Redskins and Dallas sign huge contract after huge contract, one of two things will happen.
1. The Bills will attempt to keep prices low for their fans but the product on the field will suffer and the fans will lose interest.
2. The Bills will raise prices in an attempt to stay competitive and will eventually hit the point where the struggling Buffalo economy can't afford them anymore.
Both of these situations will result in the team leaving Buffalo for greener pastures. And the fact that Ralph probably won't be around by that time just makes the outlook even worse.
If the Bills do leave Buffalo in the next 10-15 years, this CBA was the turning point.
