Billionaire Terry Pegula divests ownership interest in @5StarAthletes, clears way for #Bills purchase. http://sports.yahoo....l.html …

In that article it says that Todd France will regain full ownership and run the agency. It also quotes France and implies that he is very much staying on. That, of course, could change. But it sounds as if France may not be joining the Bills any time soon in a front office position. Of course, that could still happen after this season and maybe they didn't want to upset the apple cart on either company, until the dust settles.

 

As owner of Five Star, which is currently headed by veteran agent Todd France, the firm represented over 50 NFL players including Pro Bowlers Vernon Davis, Demaryius Thomas and Aqib Talib. France has retaken full ownership and control of the firm, a source familiar with the transaction indicated.

"Due to our successful bid for the Buffalo Bills football franchise, we were compelled by NFL rules to divest our interest in 5 Star Athlete Management," the Pegulas said in a statement emailed to Yahoo Sports. "We are very confident that Todd will continue to work diligently and zealously on behalf of his clients. We want to thank Todd for the partnership and thank him and his staff for their hard work and support during our time with them."

I'd be surprised if the Bills can offer France a position that can top owning his own agency. But I've been surprised before.

Yep, I'm doing this. In fact, I've got a wedding to attend in Akron, OH on Saturday the 11th, so I'll need to man up and leave at 4am or 5am to drive the rental car up to Orchard Park in time to tailgate.

 

Nice - that should be a fun weekend for you!
