First a question.
If Ralph Wilson was to pass away, certainly not a stretch by any imagine at 88 years old. Who would be in control of the sale of the team? Would the franchise simply go to the highest bidder?
Also, I read the Rochester version of the Wilson interview, and I sure as hell don't like these direct comments.

"There may be somebody who will come along in Buffalo and buy it. You can’t tell. I can’t guess the future and nobody can.”
Also this.
The Bills’ lease with Erie County runs through the 2012 season, but it would be easy to break if bought out under the terms of the agreement.
If the team was sold, a relocation would be subject to the approval of the other NFL owners.
Wilson said he would not consider selling part of the team to someone in Western New York while he’s still alive to give that person the chance to eventually take over the club.
“That’s absolutely out,” he said.
=====================================================
This sure as hell doesnt sound like an owner who is overly concerned that the Bills remain in Buffalo after his passing.
Anyway, thoughts or answers on how the team gets sold after he's gone?
