ET1062 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) Shredd and Regan from WEDG 103.3 the EDGE are reporting that a meeting took place yesterday between Rogers and Cuomor and the Bills. Apparently there was yelling involved. Rogers is planning on moving the Bills to Toronto after this season and pay whatever the $400 Million dollar penalty is all about take their chances in the courts. Heard it on the radio, so I don't have a link, so please don't ask. Also, don't shoot the messenger! Edited June 14, 2014 by ET1062 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackFergy Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 The only team in New York State will not be moved to Toronto without a major fight from Cuomo and Schumer (unless they are posturing) nor will this happen if Mary Wilson has anything to say about it.

Wayne Cubed Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) 1. Rogers would need approval first from the trust to buy the team, then from the league. 2. He would need to win a court case in Erie county so that he could pay the $400 million 3. He would then need approval from the NFL to move the team. 4. He'd have to pay a relocation fee, if approve. 5. He'd have to have a place for them to play, as Rogers centre doesn't meet NFL requirements for attendence and is getting refitted with grass the seats in the lower bowl can't be positioned for football games hence the Argos leaving. That means building a stadium, which hasn't started, and even if it did start today, it would still be at least 2 years before it was finished. 6. These stories are getting more and more ridiculous. EDIT: And I assume you mean Edward Rodgers, son of Ted Rodgers. Rodgers communication, can't buy a team.

Exactly!! Just to add one more thing to it, the court case that he would have to win in Erie County is that Erie County did not perform their part of the lease deal. Good luck with that.

keepthefaith Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 The league should consider offering a new franchise to Toronto if there is such a demand for NFL football there. Not likely to put much of a dent in the Bills fan base. Would create a great rivalry and the league and owners get a nice payday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 It's not my story, it is their story. Just telling you what I heard on the radio. Understood but the comment that Rogers is planning on moving the Bills after this season is the problem. They don't own the team so how can someone say that?

Lurker Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Shredd and Regan More like Bevis and Butthead. Undoubtedly, this 'report' is a lame ass attempt at humor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
