Could the “Austin Bills” soon be a thing in the NFL? That really depends on what happens with the ongoing negotiations between the ownership brass of the Buffalo Bills, the state of New York, and Erie County. That said, an ownership source told ESPN’s Seth Wickersham that Austin, Texas is a possible destination — or threat — as one of the “other cities elsewhere that desire an NFL franchise and would pay handsomely for it.”

This news comes as Bills ownership put forward an initial $1.5 billion proposal for a new stadium in Orchard Park that is entirely taxpayer-funded, according to The Buffalo News.
