New Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula would not be opposed to an NFL franchise in Toronto.

“I don’t think I would have a problem with it if they could support the team,” Pegula told Sun Media's John Kryk on Tuesday. “It’s a big enough market. I don’t know how that works with the CFL, though.”

Pegula's successful bid for the Bills, accepted last September following the March 2014 death of Ralph Wilson, was preferred to a bid from Jon Bon Jovi that was backed by officials from Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment and Rogers Communications. It was believed that the group's noncomittal stance on keeping the team in Western New York was its largest detractor.

Pegula says that in part of the process to vet his ownership bid, he was asked by the NFL about another franchise entering the Toronto market.

“And I believe I was asked that question when I was approved as an owner," Pegula said, "and it was an affirmative answer to the league. I said I would support it if Toronto had a franchise … There are a lot of people there.”

The Greater Toronto Area is the third-most populous region in North America, behind just New York City and Los Angeles.

With the St. Louis Rams and a joint venture between the Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers looking to relocate into the Los Angeles market, it appears that any immediate expansion plan for the league is not in the offing.
