O.J. Simpson’s name will not carry over into the Buffalo Bills’ new stadium.
The former NFL star, who died in 2024, was previously honored at the team’s old home, where his jersey number appeared on the Wall of Fame created in 1980. But with the Bills preparing to move into their new stadium this fall, the organization has decided not to keep that recognition in place.
Bills president of business operations Pete Guelli explained the move in a statement: “We have made an organizational decision that he is not a fit to display inside our new stadium and family circle,” he said.
Instead of continuing the old setup, the Bills will recognize team legends in the family circle area outside the new stadium.
Simpson’s legacy remains tied to the murder case that made him one of the most infamous figures in sports history. He was accused of killing his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, before being found not guilty in one of the most famous trials of all time.
That history also resurfaced through comments from Joseph Perrulli, who dated Nicole Brown Simpson in 1992. Perrulli told Page Six in a recent exclusive interview that O.J.’s alleged behavior was widely known.
“I had people in the [movie] industry telling me about, you know, informing me about his abuse, so I knew,” he said.
Perrulli also said there was little people around the situation could do. “We were all powerless,” he explained.
“He was still a spokesperson for a very big company [Hertz], a rental car company, and he was still a sportscaster. So, you know, everybody was powerless, and it seemed like he could do what he wanted.
And he did.”

Jaguars Suddenly Have A Linebacker Battle Fans Thought Was Settled
The offseason has already nudged a few assumed depth-chart answers back into the conversation, and linebacker is suddenly one of them. For Jacksonville, the spot next to Foye Oluokun looked like it had a clear favorite heading into camp, with Ventrell Miller positioned to keep building on his role while the coaching staff continued sorting out the rest of the defense.
What makes it interesting is how often the Jaguars have talked about competition under Liam Coen, and that now appears to include the linebacker room as much as anywhere else. A young challenger has earned more chances in recent work and shown enough to keep the job from feeling locked up, which means this is shaping up as one of those camp battles that can change the tone of the entire defense before the preseason even really gets going.

Jaguars QB Room Faces A Sneaky Camp Decision Behind Trevor Lawrence
As training camp approaches, the Jaguars quarterback room looks mostly settled at the top, with Trevor Lawrence in place and Nick Mullens expected to remain the primary backup. The real intrigue is lower on the depth chart, where Jacksonville is sorting out a third quarterback spot that could carry more weight than the label suggests.
Carter Bradley enters with the sort of familiarity that usually matters in camp, especially in Liam Coens system, and that gives him a reasonable early edge. But Joey Aguilar brings enough upside to make this more than a formality, and the Jaguars will have to decide whether comfort or potential matters more when they fill out the room behind Lawrence.

Jaguars Camp Could Finally Settle Their Most Frustrating Backfield Debate
Training camp is about to give the Jaguars something they have not had much clarity on in the backfield: a real chance to sort out who should lead the way. Bhayshul Tuten, Chris Rodriguez and LeQuint Allen are lined up for a competition that has been waiting for the pads to come on, and the extra reps during the offseason have already helped shape the early pecking order.
Tuten has taken advantage of the opening to get a longer look, while Allen gives Jacksonville a different kind of option if the staff wants more versatility in the passing game. Even if one runner emerges as the front-runner entering the season, the more likely outcome is a shared workload that keeps all three involved, which means this may be less about finding one answer than about deciding how the Jaguars want the pieces to fit.
