    I heard Peyton Manning is buying the team with The Million Dollar Man. But moving to the moon.

    We could probably make tackles on the moon, I like this idea.

    If he sells the team now, what kind of product will the new owner get?
    What's the value of the Patriots vs the Titans? The Pats have something to sell, something of value. For a seller, I wouldn't sell this team right now either, its not worth anything. He has to field a better team to find value. Then sell it. AND, in business, everything is For Sale.
    Bud did not regard the fans as "fans", we were customers. This is a business. We the fans/customers, have to treat it as such also. If I make bad hamburgers and can sell out every day, there's no reason for me to try to make a better burger by investing in better ingredients.

    You do realize the Bills sold for 1.4 billion and the Titans are valued more than that, right?

    value doesn't matter much if there are no buyers. I can't imagine this team is sitting in the front of the lot. We are definitely that 100k mile 'value' in the back of the lot.

    If the Titans sell it will be for 1.5 billion +.

    Also, if Tommy Boy stated "yes we are actively interested in selling the team" there would be plenty of buyers. The idea that there would not be buyers for an NFL franchise is ludicrous.

    I'm willing to wager cash on that if anyone wants to take the bet. Owning ANY NFL franchise is worth 1.5 billion in 2015 and beyond.

    you aren't really saying anything that isn't already known.

    Maybe Smith wants more than the 1.4 the Bills sold for? That was only a year ago, and the Bills have pieces to work with in a division that will open up when Brady retires. So as an owner, you have to look at that as enticing.

    We are in the exact opposite situation. We finished 2-14, have no marketable figures and the division looks tough.

    When the Bills were being sold, most of the people interested already had vested ties nearby or with the organization already. Ralph Wilson CHOSE to have the Bills sold, I imagine dealing with Smith would make things much more complicated considering he probably doesn't feel as much pressure to sell in the first place.

    I don't understand what you are trying to say. The post above you said "value doesn't matter because there are no buyers"...

    Well there would be plenty of buyers for an NFL franchise. The current division strength and roster are not really factors at all since they are both constantly changing and more than likely a new owner would make changes regarding GM/Coach/Roster anyway.

    Yes I am sure it would be more difficult dealing with the Titans ownership situation than the Bills but so what? I don't see how that makes the value or sales price any less. The roster and division strength wouldn't either. You don't buy an NFL franchise for its roster...

    I'm pretty sure if this team gets sold it will be out of no where. I just have a feeling we won't be seeing many updates as the subject is very taboo currently.
