The key is "during the non relocation term", which expires when the current stadium lease ends.

Wawrow's piece does not indicate Trump and Kelly will combine on a bid. It begins with a listing of the major players made public to this point: "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. Don't discount the family of Boston Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs. And include New Jersey rocker Jon Bon Jovi's name for added spice."

That was my suspicion.

What do you base this opinion on besides pure speculation?

NFL GMs disagree with that thinking, that's my point. Julius Thomas and Jordan Cameron were both raw coming out of college, but it doesn't matter where TEs were drafted in the past--- it matters what NFL GMs think in 2014, which is based on where NFL offenses are trending. Personnel moves tend to follow those trends, which is why TEs will continue to move up in the draft. Year after year, there are more dynamic specimens developed in college. I agree, I will trust Whaley and company with however they've built their draft board.

I think the TE position is going to continue attracting more 1st round attention as NFL offenses evolve--- we've already seen RBs drop out of the 1st entirely last year and likely again this year. It's not because there's no talent, it's because priorities change. Freakish athletes like Kellen Winslow Sr., Tony Gonzalez and Antonio Gates were anomalies but are now the type of football players being developed from an early age to play the position. I don't know if Ebron is as good as the hype, but I know most of the OTs drafted in the top 10 over the past decade have not justified their draft position. In a deep draft for OTs, I'd rather take one in the 2nd and trust Marrone's coaching ability.

If Jon Bon Jovi buys the Bills, they are moving to Toronto. No one cares if he's bright or articulate.

Bon Jovi being in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is akin to putting someone like Mark Brunell in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I mean, if Bon Jovi is in--- who DOESN'T get in?

Neely did not specifically say Jacobs isn't interested in buying the Bills--- what he actually said was pretty much in line with what has already been implied: http://www.boston.com/sports/hockey/bruins/extras/bruins_blog/2014/04/jeremy_jacobs_has_no_plans_to_buy_bills_cam_neely_says_on_fe.html Currently, Jacobs has no plans to buy the Bills, according to Bruins president Cam Neely, who spoke about the subject Thursday on the “Felger & Mazz” radio show on 98.5 The Sports Hub. “[Jeremy Jacobs] really enjoys owning the Boston Bruins; he enjoys his role with the National Hockey League, and I think he’s very passionate about this organization,” Neely said. Neely also said that, by NFL ownership rules, Jacobs would need to completely take his name off of Bruins ownership in order to own an NFL team in a different city than the NHL team is located. “With the NFL and their rules he couldn’t own a team in a different city, a professional team in a different city, and he has no interest in getting out of hockey,” Neely said. “He’s been extremely happy with his ownership here in Boston and he’s enjoying how the team is playing, and he told me that he has no interest right now, or doesn’t have any interest at all, to give up the Boston Bruins.” During the interview, Michael Felger asked Neely if there was a way to circumvent the NFL rule, in which Jacobs could technically sell the Bruins to one of his sons, or have one of them buy the Bills, to which Neely replied that he was not sure. Neely did say, however, that Jeremy Jacobs would not be willing to take his name off ownership of the Bruins.

Although Kelly's earliest public references to an ownership group predates Pegula's purchase of the Sabres, it's not outside the realm of possibility that Pegula is actually involved in Kelly's group.

This is so irrelevant to the Bills and the 2014 Draft. Who cares that the Browns passed on Roethlisberger a decade ago? This is not remotely a 1 to 1 comparison. Anyway, the Bills won't have a chance to pass on Mack unless they trade up to the top 5, and if they do, the same argument could be made in favor of Sammy Watkins or others.

I thought the commercial reeked of insincere pandering, but I'm certain the point was that America is diverse and should be celebrated as such, not that Coke was appealing to an international audience.

FYI: the Bills fired Chan more than a year ago.

If only Downing could bring Megatron with him.

This comment eases the sting of losing Pettine after one season---the organization is proactive even when it is forced to be reactive. Preparedness inspires confidence.

What are the odds you were the first person to prognosticate this Super Bowl matchup? Like, infinitely less than zero?

Bob Chandler made a great block to spring a long Raiders TD (Kenny King?) against the Eagles in January 1981. Mike Lodish won 2 with Elway's Broncos. Although he never played in Buffalo, the Bills drafted Paul Warfield in 1964.

Kiko is the only defensive player of the 5 nominees--- I wonder what this says for his chances of being named the Defensive ROY?

It's actually a bit worse: 88-136

That's right--- they also show Arrowhead Stadium when Costner is speaking with another GM on the phone. I think it's more likely that, rather than a slam against the Bills, it's more likely a gesture of simply acknowledging them because they were the depicted franchise/city throughout the scriptwriting and development process. Nothing more.

I'm not sure how LaCanfora thinks this validates his story, really. I don't doubt his report of Bon Jovi's interest in the Bills, anyway, but this is more of the same conjecture and speculation on how, when and why the Bills will eventually move to Toronto. (Not directed at the messenger, to be clear, in any way)

It's message board jargon which means he agrees with you.

Marrone confirmed that Hackett will remain on the sidelines the rest of the season. http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/Hacketts-sideline-presence-helps/476cdd84-2ca0-4e9e-97f1-8a9e70fa53bd

It's an extreme zoom in on a TV screen from a cell phone camera. See Carey Bender's deadspin link above your post for a clearer view of the broadcast.

I suspected it was the Bills' Chris Brown, and sure enough it was--- however, he deleted the original tweet that incorrectly said "Mike Vrabel", and the corrected tweet doesn't have the same wording or say anything about playcalling specifically: Chris Brown‏@ChrisBrownBills Sorry about that, off quality control coach Jason Vrabel up in booth in Hackett's place. #Bills https://twitter.com/...138622797033472
