He had to sell the naming rights to the stadium just to sign Borrow. There’s no way they are going to be willing or able to sign all the guys they will need to retain. Expand Agree. They caught a bit of lightning in a bottle their Super Bowl year, but since then they steadily let talented players who fit their systems (especially on defense) walk away. To the point they replaced a well regarded DC because he couldn't make it work with duct tape and twine. Now it's looking like the purge on offense is due. Mixon last off-season, likely Higgins this one. 1 Quote

EasternOHBillsFan Posted January 25 Posted January 25 This is REALLY bad news for the league. What cities are possibly up for grabs if they do move, maybe San Antonio? I doubt they would be the first international NFL franchise, but then again I refused to believe that the Rams and Chargers would BOTH relocate... Quote

It makes for some nice over head pics during the game but i can't imagine that parking or tail gating is convenient in any way . The Reds stadium is basically the same way ... Quote

Expand That is all a complete lie The '90s bills were called the million dollar bills.. we had some of the highest payrolls in the NFL Ralph also made OJ Simpson the first million dollar player.. made Jim Kelly the highest paid player in the league.

PrimeTime101 Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Didn't the Bills have a couple times where they were down to 1 year left a couple times and that summer, they came to a deal? No way they do not figure out a deal.. that would be hard to believe. 1 Quote

People always want new now, never happy with a used TV or an iPhone from 3 years ago or a used car. It’s the social media generation I tell ya. Something needs to be done. everything I’ve ever had in life was once owned by someone else, my car, my wife, my refrigerator. You don’t hear me complaining !

Chicharito Posted January 25 Posted January 25 We have a new stadium being built . Sign a lease Bengals ! Quote
gonzo1105 Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Does it surprise anyone that Mike Brown is being cheap but wants everything given to him. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bengals move to another place just so Brown can line his pockets in a new stadium deal in a new town. Someone will give it to him if he can't take Cincinnati to the cleaners 1 Quote
