BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly is prepared to make a bid to buy the Buffalo Bills. Donald Trump's on board, too.



USA Today article seems to be the source of all the confusion and when you read this statement it sounds to me like Trump and Kelly are working together.

Dan Kelly : “Jim is not aligned with any group yet. We get approached almost every day by someone. We’re flattered and honored,”

Finally, someone who actually does speak for Jim.

This sounds a little different from his talk a year ago about having an ownership group in place or maybe I just misunderstood Kelly.

What's up, Amos?!

I think that Jim figured out that the money man from last year was a guy who can't be trusted. He was from Hamilton, ONT, and would very likely have tried to move the team.

I don't like this.

I love Jim, but I don't trust Trump.

My sentiment exactly.

Trump will make the bills worse than they've ever been..

Sadly, I don't think that's even possible....

I mean, what's the worst than can happen, we don't make the playoffs, or win a SB?....Oh, wait...

No. The worst that could happen would be the Los Angeles Trumps.

You're fired Russ.

You think Trump is going to fire the Bills best business man? He's made Ralph millions even with a poor product. He may get a nice promotion out of this move.

Additionally I dont think Trump is enough to make this move happen. He's only worth 2.7 Billion and its going to cost close to $2 Billion alone to buy the team and build a brand new stadium. I'm not sure Trump has enough cash to make this move by himself. He may need another money man as well.

He's not a good businessman? His brand is based on people getting results.

He's like an idol to the poor and lower middle class with his brand. Ever notice very few larger entities ever want to deal with him? He's gaudy and pompous and he's not liked. he's a snakeoil salesman

Kelly had a group, but with Trump throwing his hat in the ring, he may just be changing who the money man will be. He should also consider Pegula and/or Golisano. I'm sure a group of those 3 with Kelly as the face would be a tough one to go up against.

That would be rough. I can't see any of those three dumping a lot money into an investment without being able to call the shots.

Those meetings and this committee about the proposed new stadium--you think they're discussing where the new owner will be allowed to spend his own money to build a stadium?

Wow.

You realize the Ralph Wilson Stadium isn't called that because he paid to build it, right?
