Buffalo Bills remain silent on death of OJ Simpson, who is on team’s Wall of Fame

His jersey is retired at USC, where he won the Heisman Trophy in 1968, and Simpson’s name remains on the Wall of Fame at Buffalo’s Highmark Stadium, where he played nine seasons as No. 32 with the Bills (when it was known as Rich Stadium).’

Potential interior DL targets for Bills in 2024 NFL Draft

‘However, with the NFL Draft two weeks away, Beane could still add to the position to provide stability and a rookie on a cheap four-year deal that could develop as the years progress. Here are some potential targets the Bills could add with their 10 selections…’.

Ball-hungry persona makes Florida State’s Keon Coleman an interesting prospect for Buffalo Bills

‘“He has what we call that dog in him, where it’s his ball and nobody else’s. He plays bully ball out there. And if you go back and watch the LSU game and other opponents how he bullied some of these defensive backs, at the point of attack and off the line of scrimmage,” says CBS Sports HQ draft analyst Emory Hunt. “When the ball is in the air you can’t bump him off the route, he’s going to be physical to fight through that contact and he’s going to go up and get the football.”’

‘The murders came only a few months after the Bills lost their fourth consecutive Super Bowl, in 1994. The gavel-to-gavel coverage of the murder trial encouraged today’s trashy reality-TV culture. Simpson was famously acquitted: The gloves didn’t fit. But in the civil trial, the shoes did. Plaintiffs’ attorneys introduced 30 photos of Simpson wearing size-12 Bruno Magli shoes he had denied ever owning. Those “ugly-ass shoes,” as he called them, were the kind the killer had worn.’

Reactions to the death of O.J. Simpson

‘Booker Edgerson, Simpson’s teammate in Buffalo and a Bills Wall of Famer, lamented the loss of his friend. “It was a tough one, but you got to deal with it and go on forward, move forward,” Edgerson told The News by phone.’

Simpson’s closest Buffalo friend recalls the good times and bad

‘The two men became close friends in the 1970s when Simpson was a superstar running back with the Buffalo Bills and one of the world’s most famous athletes. Militello was then running Mulligan’s Cafe & Nightclub on Hertel Avenue, which was then Buffalo’s No. 1 celebrity hangout.’

Timeline: O.J. Simpson through the years
