A conglomeration including Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, and, very likely, Donald Trump and Bob Rich have purchased the Buffalo Bills from Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. for an unknown sum, probably in the $800Million to $1Billion range. Wilson is said to have sold based on the expectation that both estate taxes and capital gains taxes will rise significantly beginning January 1, 2013 under the new fiscal cliff agreement.
“Wilson is said to have sold based on the expectation that both estate taxes and capital gains taxes will rise significantly…”
And the Bill’s have kind of sucked since Kelly and Thurman left the team. Just saying.
This is still a rumor, but the reason for selling is sound.
