Bills Decline to Honor O.J. Simpson in Making the Move to New Stadium
The team will honor its history in the Family Circle while excluding Simpson, whose legacy was tied to murder charges and a $33.5 million civil judgment.
- On Saturday, Buffalo Bills president of business operations Pete Guelli announced the team will not feature O.J. Simpson in their new $2.1 billion Highmark Stadium, excluding him from the Family Circle display area.
- Despite his on-field success, Simpson's reputation was permanently altered by the 1994 deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman; he was later found liable for $33.5 million in damages in a civil case.
- During his nine-year tenure in Buffalo, Simpson became the first NFL player to rush for 2,003 yards in a single season, gaining 10,183 yards for the franchise, ranking second behind Pro Football Hall of Famer Thurman Thomas.
- While the Bills will honor other legends from their former Wall of Fame, Guelli confirmed Simpson's name will be omitted from the new gathering space, as reported by Michael Petro of The Buffalo News.
- Simpson died at 76 in 2024 from cancer, having faced a long period of distance from the franchise under late-owner Ralph Wilson and current owner Kim Pegula.
