I think everything’s up in the air a few years down the line. It’s heavily rumored McDermott wants to stay in Buffalo for camp and I really believe that’s a likely solution, especially if he gets a contract extension

Kirby Jackson Posted May 4, 2018 Posted May 4, 2018 The Bills were never leaving Rochester. It is too important to the viability of the franchise. This couldn’t be less of a story. There is no credit to be distributed here. The Bills have a contract and are abiding by it. Why is this a story?

Did anyone expect her to break the previous agreement and upset a bunch of fans just for the sake of making change in her first week as president of the team? Why would she do that? Kim made another smart move today by not announcing she is moving the Bills and Sabres to Alabama. Expand Yes, they did expect them to break the agreement because the local press has been reporting that this is the last year, and that they will buy their way out of it. There was an article saying exactly that just this week. And for all that time, a YEAR, the Bills said nothing. As has been their way. They have always ignored that sort of thing and just let fans twist and wonder. Now 2 or 3 days on the job and Bam, she says, nope it is not moving. That is why it is being reacted to as it is. Because it is different and it is good. But rather than ask and learn and consider all of that, you just come in and contradict. How come?

Expand There's a little bit more on her plate than announcing that, for the moment, the organization has decided to hold pattern until they figure out what they are going to do long term. That's all Kim has done here. It's probably too late in the game to change course for this season anyway, even if they wanted to.
MAJBobby Posted May 4, 2018 Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) After the currenr contract i think going away to camp ends anyway. I see no value in it anyway on the field anyway Edited May 4, 2018 by MAJBobby

Expand I think the comments in this thread that you're referencing are valid. Kim basically said nothing substatial in the quote posted, although it comes across as optimistic (that they'll stay at SJF). She basically stated facts, as they currently stand. As of right now, it would be way too late to move camp elsewhere, unless the Bills have had secret talks with another facility for some time now, which I doubt. But if the idea is to move the camp next year, talks either are underway, or will be soon, and they could probably buy their way out of the remaining years of the contract at SJF. Basically, her quote reassures nothing after this year. That doesn't mean they WILL move, but it doesn't mean they WON'T either.
