‘Brandon has reached out to Bills fans and season-ticket holders, expressing in a long statement that he shared "our fans’ disappointment with the news on Friday (March 11) that the NFLPA has filed for decertification and a work stoppage has begun. We remain hopeful that a new and fair agreement can be reached in time to avoid any significant disruption to our preparations for the 2011 season. We believe that the quickest way to a fair agreement for everyone – players, teams and fans – is through negotiations facilitated by the mediator and not through litigation."’
