    The Toronto group led by rocker Jon Bon Jovi reportedly is committed to keeping the Buffalo Bills in Western New York and isn't aiming at moving the NFL team to Canada's most-populated city.

    The club is on the market after Hall of Fame owner Ralph Wilson died in March. The Bills most recently were valued by Forbes at $870 million. They are projected to be sold for at least $1 billion, partly because NFL teams rarely go on the market.

    The Toronto Sun, citing multiple sources, reported Saturday that the group is telling people and will tell the trust managing the sale of the team that it has no plans to relocate the team.

    The group includes Larry Tanenbaum and the Rogers family. Tanenbaum is chairman of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, which controls the NHL's Maple Leafs and NBA's Raptors. The Rogers family includes Edward Rogers, who is deputy chairman of Rogers, the Toronto communications giant.

    "Has no plans to relocate" & 'won't relocate' are a wee bit different...
