If we had those answers it would be in the post but the process seems to be just starting 

I hate this. I never know what the implications will be, or what the intentions are, and worrying about this team staying or going is exhausting at this point. I feel like I need to just let go in that area.

 

I know this does not mean that, it's just that I wonder when 25% turns into 50% and so on. I also wonder if this has to do with Kim's health.

Probably get some celebrities as part owner.

Hopefully, no one like A Rod or Marc Lore.

With the new stadium being built I am not worried about them moving. Didn't the Bills sign a long-term lease to remain in Buffalo with the new stadium on the way.

Considering the NFL is basically a money printer, I'm surprised something like cost overruns can cause a partial sale to cover it. I would think there would be some sort of financing available to cover the overruns using the team as collateral (but maybe there are rules against that, or maybe the interest rates are too high to make that option worth it).

I would encourage you to read Graham's article.

I really don't think it's anything to worry about.

I've had a long standing theory that Bills (and Sabres) ownership is more fragile than it appears.  It does not surprise me to see this announcement.

 

Terry is in his early 70s, Kim's status as owner is unknown, and none of the five kids are easy to spot heir apparent to running the menagerie of companies he has in his portfolio.

 

What you really don't want to see is Terry pass unexpectedly, and the ownership is transacted by the family to the highest bidder.  That's a nightmare Bon Jovi scenario.  The likelihood of the Bills being owned by someone like Terry with a deep appreciation of Buffalo and western New York is slim in that scenario.  

Good points.

 

I don't think Kim will ever regain ownership. It has been alluded to. I think the stroke took a huge toll on her. Honestly, maybe it's for the better, that is a highly stressful job and someone who went through what she did should probably not be in that position. I also think about Terry's age often.

Never a dull moment with this team the last few years

Just one year I would love nothing more than some dull moments!

@Aimee75

This simple key quote from the ProFootballTalk article on the subject will hopefully put your mind at ease a little bit:

"The skyrocketing valuations of NFL teams and the estate taxes have made it difficult for sole ownership."

In other words, this type of thing is more and more common, and the Pegulas are not the only ones in the NFL doing this. It's a practical financial matter, not a "first step to selling the team entirely" thing.
