‘”I think we got a much better deal. First off, Nashville is a joint county with Davidson County. It’s a metropolitan government between the city of Nashville and the county of Davidson and they they’re increasing their hotel and motel tax. They’re creating a special taxing district around the stadium to help pay for the costs associated with it. Erie County is putting $250 million and it’s a lot of money. Nashville and Davidson is putting in $760 million towards that stadium and then they have additional obligations going forward. We don’t have any additional obligations going forward. I’m very pleased with our deal,” says Poloncarz.’

I think that’ll be the tell of everything when I go out there and put good things on film and making them more comfortable with getting me out there.”’

The Bills want me here, and that’s all that matters. It doesn’t matter what they gave up for me; I’m happy to be here. It’s an opportunity, it’s a new team and it’s a new situation. I’m not really going to press hard. I’m going to be me. I feel like these last five years, I’ve been me and that’s been good enough — and hopefully it will be here, too.”‘
