Sen. Schumer reassured by Bills owner that he’s not interested in move to Los Angeles

Sen. Schumer: Bills not eyeing move to L.A.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer has been reassured by Bills owner Ralph Wilson that he has no intention of entertaining offers to relocate the team to Los Angeles.

The New York Democrat said Wilson told him by phone that he’s had no contact with a real estate firm seeking to lure a team to L.A. Even if contacted, Wilson would have “absolutely no consideration of entertaining” any offers, Schumer said.

This week, Majestic Realty Co. targeted as many as seven NFL franchises — including the Bills — as potential candidates to play in a new stadium some 25 miles east of Los Angeles.

The Bills have secured their hold in western New York by signing a $78 million deal to play annual games in Toronto.
