Jon Bon Jovi , Sammy Watkins & Jim Kelly: Rock Star & NFL Legend Buying Buffalo Bills: Negotiations Despite Huge Battle: Will Deal Be Done Ahead Of 2014/15 NFL Season?

The 2014/15 NFL season is weeks away, but the future of the Buffalo Bills is still up in the air. Jon Bon Jovi, the rock star, and Jim Kelly, the Bills' NFL legend, are in talks about buying the team together, but it's believed the negotiations have hit a standstill, meaning Sammy Watkins' team might not get their dream ownership. The pair met last week, but they could not come to an agreement. It's believed that Bon Jovi cares about the glory and money, while Kelly is worried his beloved Bills could be relocated. Can the pair come to an agreement of some sorts?

A source revealed all, saying "I can confirm that Jim Kelly met with Jon Bon Jovi, but Kelly and Jeffrey Gundlach will not be pursuing a relationship with the Toronto group. Kelly and Gundlach do not feel confident that their aspirations for keeping the Bills in Buffalo long-term are aligned with the interests of the Toronto group."

Suggestions have been made by many that Bon Jovi's team are lazy, reorganized and unprepared, and Kelly's refusal to commit suggests that there is an element of truth in these claims. The Bills have had a horrid time on and off the field, but with young stars like Watkins they believe there are better times ahead, times that Bon Jovi may ruin. Kelly is evidently concerned about putting his team in trouble, hence his refusal to commit.

Will Watkins make the Bills a far better team, and can Bon Jovi and Kelly get their hands on the Bills before the 2014/15 NFL season?
