White Vladimir Ducasse Jerseys , New York, this weekend, the Buffalo Bills are setting their sights on longer-term plans in determining whether to renovate their existing facility or build a new one.Bills co-owner Kim Pegula told The Associated Press both options are on the table, though formal discussions won't begin until after New York's gubernatorial race is settled in November."That makes sense, and regardless of who wins or doesn't win, that would be for us the prudent thing to do," Pegula said during a wide-ranging interview Wednesday, four days before the Bills' home opener against the Los Angeles Chargers. "There's no reason to cause a lot of distractions right now."Gov. Andrew Cuomo, whose administration played a role in negotiating the team's current lease in 2012, is running for a third term, and being challenged by Cynthia Nixon in the Democratic primary. Marcus Molinaro is the Republican candidate.Pegula reiterated while there have been internal discussions regarding the future of their current home, New Era Field, no decisions have been made Vladimir Ducasse Jerseys 2019 , and the team has not yet hired a consultant to conduct a feasibility study.The clock, however, is ticking, with Pegula saying she would like to have the framework of a plan in place before the current lease expires in the summer of 2023."Oh, I certainly think we're going to be on our way or at least knowing a direction or a path by the time the lease is up," she said."I don't want to put a time frame on it. I know that people here want the team to stay here," Pegula added. "They all know something needs to be done. To what extent? No one yet has come out and said what it is."The next step becomes meeting with state and local officials to determine how much public money might be available to fund an expensive project no matter which option the Bills choose. A state-funded study in 2014 estimated the next renovations at New Era Field would cost $540 million, including structural improvements and rebuilding the stadium's third deck. A new facility would cost almost double, depending on location, whether it features a roof, and how much infrastructure upgrades — expanded roads, access ramps, public transportation — might be necessary.The state and county have a stake in New Era Field White Jason Croom Jerseys , which opened in 1973. Nearly $227 million of taxpayer money was committed to renovations and annual capital and game-day expenses over the current 10-year lease. The Bills' share was $35.455 million, not including the $18 million the team spent on upgrading club seats this year.The Bills are the NFL's only New York-based team and estimated to generate $20 million in annual tax revenue in 2012.Pegula understands cost is an issue and takes into account how the Bills are based in one of the NFL's smallest markets, and feature some of the league's lowest average ticket prices. As a result, she said it's not feasible to propose building a new stadium on the grand scale the Rams are erecting in Los Angeles."We don't know where it's going to be, how much, how little, who's going to the partners, where we can even get to as a marketplace," Pegula said, noting she's not sure whether seat licensing fees can work in Buffalo."All these questions we haven't figured out. But certainly, we're going to do everything we can on our side to provide, upgrade and bring about a much more progressive fan experience," Pegula said. "Eventually Jason Croom Jerseys 2019 , one answer will rise to the top. But certainly there's going to be multiple options out there."

Of Buffalo’s 22 starting players in 2018, the team drafted six of them within the last two seasons; assuming that Ed Oliver and Cody Ford become starters in 2019, that brings the total to eight starters in three years.When a team drafts a player in the first or second round, it expects that player to start right away in most cases. When a team drafts a player in the fifth round, that isn’t the expectation. However, when a late-round player not only earns a starting position, but flourishes, that provides the team with the best possible scenario: a talented player at a low cost.In the latest installment of our “90 players in 90 days” series, we profile one such late-round find White Rafael Bush Jerseys , a speedy linebacker who can play on all downs and in all situations.Name: Matt MilanoNumber: 58Position: LBHeight/Weight: 6’ 223 lbs.Age: 24 (25 on 7/28/19)Experience/Draft: 3 years; drafted in the fifth round (163 overall) by the Buffalo Bills in 2016 NFL DraftCollege: Boston CollegeAcquired: Fifth-round draft choiceFinancial situation (per Spotrac): Milano enters the third year of his four-year rookie contract, a deal that pays him $2,661,506 in total. For the 2019 season, Milano will count $710,376 against the salary cap.2018 Recap: Milano had a breakout 2018, starting all 13 of the games in which he played. His season ended prematurely thanks to a broken leg suffered against the New York Jets in Week 14. Even though he missed the team’s final three games, he was still fourth in total tackles (78), second in interceptions (3), fourth in pass breakups (7), tied for second in forced fumbles (2), first in fumble recoveries (3), and second in tackles for loss (12). He also added a sack—the first of his career. It was a phenomenal year for the young linebacker Rafael Bush Jerseys 2019 , as he clearly filled up the stat sheet while developing into a legitimate three-down force.Positional outlook: Milano will start at linebacker provided he is back to full health. He figures to see the second-most reps at the position behind middle linebacker Tremaine Edmunds. Veteran Lorenzo Alexander rounds out the starting trio. Those who will vie for backup spots include Maurice Alexander, Tyrel Dodson, Juwan Foggie, Vosean Joseph, Deon Lacey, Julian Stanford, and Corey Thompson.2019 Offseason: Milano has been rehabbing his leg injury, and he said back in March that he would be ready to go by minicamp this year. 2019 Season outlook: Milano looks to be a fantastic addition to the team, and his 2018 season was one of the biggest positives for the Bills. If he can return at full strength and build off of what was an outstanding second season, he gives the Bills a second young linebacker capable of stuffing the run and defending the pass. Milano should continue to grow and improve upon his solid 2018 campaign.
