I read about that Bills story yesterday. It's all posturing.
They interviewed people in Austin who said they had no clue about any plans or any want for an NFL team. The idea that the city was willing to publicly fund a stadium was news to them.
Another very important thing... Guess whose company is helping the Bills secure a new stadium deal? Jerry Jones. Guess what owner would never allow a new franchise within 300 miles from his if he could help it? Jerry Jones. There's not a chance Jerry Jones wants another team that is under 200 miles and under 2 hours away from his cash cow.
All of this is just a ploy by the Bills to get funding from Buffalo. The owner of team also owns the Sabres (NHL) who are there, and are in need their own update and upgrades. You think he's willing to move two teams away from one city? Not likely. You think he's willing to be move one of those two teams, angering the fanbase, then trying to operate the other franchise there? Not a freaking chance.
They're going to put pressure the city, and they're going to demand 100% of the cost be paid. In they end, they'll end up setting for some type of split (Ex: 50/50) between public and private funding and everyone will realize this is nothing more typical negotiation.
The Bills are going nowhere.
