The vultures are always circling, like this guy in Orlando who thought he could poach the Bills as recently as last year. Both the Bills and Sabres, and maybe even the Bandits, are desirable assets that billionaires covet.
The Orlando Bills? Here's what might have been if team looked to relocate
ORLANDO, Fla. – It’s a crowded late-autumn Monday morning at Orlando International Airport, and I’m weaving through multiple terminals and thick crowds to find Pat Williams, the storied sports executive who helped bring a big-league franchise to this city some 35 years ago.
He wants to do it again. Search Williams’ name, and you’ll read about how he helped build the NBA's Orlando Magic. You’ll also find that he is leading a group called the Orlando Dreamers that is trying bring Major League Baseball here. That is his big goal, but until last spring, Williams had one eye on still another possibility, albeit a fancifully faint one:
The Orlando Bills.
That never happened, and it won’t. But when Williams was watching, it wasn’t an impossibility, and so I’m here today to take the visit that Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula never did.
Or never had to.
What would a Bills visit to Orlando – or any of the several potential NFL relocation cities – have looked like?
I asked Williams to give me the same tour (or as best as he could approximate it) that he would have given to Pegula, or any prospective investor or owner looking to relocate.
