Like the NBA, the NFL could be on their way to having a team in Canada. With the unfortunate passing of the Buffalo Bills owner the team is now up for sale. While there are a couple of suitors willing to keep the team where they are, there’s a chance they could relocate.
The process to sell the Buffalo Bills has all but begun. The suitors, some of them known, some of them more private, have let their intentions be known that they have interest in the National Football League team. There is likely to be at least two Toronto groups interested in the Bills. Mary Wilson, wife of the recently passed away owner, Ralph Wilson, is temporarily in charge of the franchise and around her are lawyers who deal in transactions of this kind of financial enormity. For a Toronto group, even one headed by Jon Bon Jovi and backed with money from Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, Larry Tanenbaum and possibly the Rogers family, it might take another year to win the rights for the franchise and then four more before being able to get out of the stadium lease. That would provide time for an NFL-size stadium to be built. It only takes money to get this done.
