If this pans out, it's bad news for Buffalo because it puts us one step closer to the top of the list of candidates to move to LA.

As much as I'd love to see the Bills stay in Western NY, if they have to move, I'd be absolutely thrilled to hear they moved out here to California... with them being closer, it would make me being able to see them soooo much more easy.

I am not worried about Buffalo moving
I, however would like to say that Minnesota Viking fans deserve to keep their team, and I am happy for them
how could you root for the team after it moves. They are the Bills because they are from buffalo, if they move ot LA, they would change the name and it would never be the Bills again.
Even if they did keep the name it still wouldn't be the Bills. if a move to California is all you need, then become a Chargers, Raiders or 49'ers fan, it would be the exact same thing
the Jags don't have the fan base we do. That's obvious.
But they also have a brutal stadium lease that is very expensive to break.
The Bills currently have no stadium lease after this season.
For a potential investor who would want to move the team, that makes us much more appealing.
Again, I'm not saying it's going to happen. Ralph has said he won't sell the team while he's alive, there's still time to get a lease done, and a new owner won't necessarily want to move the team. But if it were my money on the line and I didn't have any emotional attachment to a team as a fan, I'd certainly be taking a long, hard look at the Bills.
I heard about that, but I thought the lease was able to be broken upon change of ownership. Maybe not, though.

The Bills aren't moving out of WNY, period.
No lease is unbreachable, it's just a matter of negotiating the right buy-out for the right dollar amount in the city's eyes. Considering that naming rights to the new LA stadium have been reported to be in the $700mil range, IMO it wouldn't be too difficult to pull off.

I live in California too...I would hate the "Bills" more than any team in Professional Sports if they moved from Buffalo.
The last time the Bills made the playoffs was 1999.
Well said.
The amount to break that lease becomes less every year. It looks like the moves the new owner of the Jags is making is putting them in position to move.
Eh... They wouldn't be the Bills. They wouldn't be from Buffalo.
How many Ravens fans live in Cleveland?
If the Bills ever moved they would no more be the Bills than the LA Clippers are the Buffalo Braves.
No it doesn't.
San Diego, Oakland, St. Louis & Jacksonville are the teams always mentioned as most likely.
I know they wouldn't be the Bills any more, but that would still be my team if they moved closer to me - if they move to canada, IDK if I could be a whore for a canadian football team.
Even more than the patriots/Cowboys/Titans?
Yes.
I could not care less about the Vikings. Bills aren't going anywhere. I wish people would stop making Bills are moving threads, ****ing stupidity at it's best.

As I've said before, if you are a Bills fan, lived in Buffalo, but moved... you have zero room to not root for the Bills if they move. Chances are, you moved for better opportunities. The Bills would be doing the same. Turning on the Bills because they did the exact same thing you did is class-A hypocrisy.
TOTAL NONSENSE. As I've said before when you made that STUPID statement, the VAST MAJORITY of people that left Buffalo had to do so. Little choice was involved. It was much like the Irish leaving Ireland after the potato famine. As much as they loved Ireland, they loved eating & staying alive more.
If anyone moves the Bills, it won't be because they can't survive in Buffalo. It would be a move of choice, not need.
