Report: Group of former sports stars in talks to buy minority stake in Bills

Despite not having played in the NFL, a few former star athletes in Jozy Altidore, Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady are interested in buying a piece of the Buffalo Bills.

According to Sportico, the trio are in talks to purchase a minority stake in Buffalo’s football team. All have connections to Toronto professional teams during their playing days.

Carter and McGrady played in the NBA, meanwhile, Altidore is a former United States soccer player.

Re, Toronto: Carter and McGrady began their NBA careers with the Toronto Raptors and Altidore spent seven years with Toronto FC.

According to the Buffalo News, the Bills did not confirm the trio are interested in buying a minority stake specifically, but did tell the outlet that there has been a “significant amount of interest” from potential minority owners.

While there is no confirmation from the team, it makes sense. All three were spotted attending Buffalo’s “Monday Night Football” clash against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

While there might be some pause because of the Toronto connection… no need to worry. With a new stadium on the way and a 30-year lease on the docket for the Bills in Orchard Park… the team is not going anywhere.

In mid-April, The Athletic reported that the Terry Pegula owned team did express interest in selling to minority owners.

Bills Wire will provide updates as information in made available.
