@ByTimGraham: I can confirm that Buffalo Sabres owner Terry Pegula submitted the non-binding bid and notice of intent today for the Buffalo Bills.

Didn't see that coming.

I just heard a rumor that a Saudi Sheikh wants to pay $3 billion for the team and build a new stadium in Lackawanna.
I was also told that Oprah wants to buy the Bills too.
I'm just kidding, go Pegs!

And the bid tops the $1B mark!

Link? I don't doubt it, as people have been speculating for months that the bids would go over a billion, but I'd like to see proof. And despite my reservations about Pegula as the Sabres owner, he seems like the best option for the Bills. At least he's committed to the city and he's not a penny-pincher.

Pegula wants to revitalize Buffalo. He is going to build a stadium downtown to compliment his other projects. He has the coin and then some. I Billieve this is the plan.
Can't wait!

I'm going to say this first.
If Terry Pegula pulls this off, he is Buffalo's greatest sports hero. The "Mount Rushmore of Buffalo Sports" should have four portraits of Terry Pegula.

The whole situation is sad and heart-wrenching. I think Trump is full of **** he will outbid everyone and get a huge payday...but of course that is a guess.
Here's a better link.....

pegula also leased out 20000 sqft in the seneca tower. seems like he's moving forward pretty aggressively. they said that they are outgrowing the FNC, but 20k additional square footage sounds like it is covering other activity as well.

Is there a deadline on when they're going to decide by? Sorry I haven't been keeping up with the process.
