The Buffalo Bills and Toronto are nearing agreement on a deal to extend their series of regular season games at the Rogers Centre.

"We'll be having an announcement on that," Rogers Communications vice chairman Phil Lind said Friday. Without providing a timeline, Lind said "It'll be soon."

The extension is expected to last five years, with one annual game in Toronto.

Rogers paid the Bills $78 million for the eight-game series in 2008, but that price is expected to drop.

Toronto is located 100 miles from Buffalo.
