There has been some talk that Trump's interest in the Bills is only a way to generate headlines. Critics point to his constant discussion of running for public office.
Trump told the Buffalo News that he is exploring the idea and would keep the team in New York if he becomes owner.
"I'm going to give it a heavy shot," Trump said. "I would love to do it, and if I can do it I'm keeping it in Buffalo."
Former owner Ralph Wilson founded the Bills, which was one of the first teams to join the American Football League in 1960. Wilson passed in March and the team was placed in a trust. Mary Wilson, Ralph's wife, was named controlling owner of the team, but a sale is expected.
As for the fiscal side of the deal, Trump's net worth is estimated at around $3.9 billion by Forbes. Trump claims that number is closer to $10 billion.
Forbes says the value of the Bills franchise is $870 million.
