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.”

Chargers Suddenly Face A Massive Rashawn Slater Question In 2026
Rashawn Slater has already built the kind of rsum that usually settles a teams left tackle spot for years. Drafted 13th overall in 2021, he quickly developed into one of the Chargers most important players, earned Pro Bowl recognition and landed a major extension as the franchise bet on his long-term value.
Now the conversation has shifted from upside to availability, because Slaters recovery is the central 2026 question hanging over the offense. Los Angeles knows what he looks like when he is healthy and at his best, but it also knows how injuries have repeatedly interrupted that arc, from a torn bicep to the latest setback, and the Chargers are left waiting to see how much stability they can count on in front of their quarterback.

Two Chargers Rookies Already Stand Out For All The Right Reasons
The Chargers came out of the 2026 NFL Draft with two rookies who seem built to matter right away, even if in very different ways. Brenen Thompson brings the kind of speed that can change the shape of a passing game and add value in the return game, while Akheem Mesidor arrives with the traits of an edge rusher who can fit into a veteran-heavy room and still carve out a role.
For a team trying to keep adding young, inexpensive help around its core, those are the kinds of picks that make sense on paper and on the practice field. Thompson and Mesidor both land in situations where their specific skills line up with obvious needs, which is why there is already a real buzz around what each could become once the regular season starts to answer the harder question.

Mike McDaniel Faces A Huge Justin Herbert Test In Los Angeles
Mike McDaniels first look at the Chargers offense comes with a different kind of challenge than the one he built in Miami. There is no Tyreek Hill-type engine to tilt the field on its own, so the emphasis has to fall on a broader structure: a committed run game, motion, play-action and enough balance to keep defenses from keying on one answer. The idea is less about recreating the Dolphins speed show than layering together a system that can move in more than one direction.
Justin Herbert changes the baseline for all of it. His arm talent, size and ability to throw off-platform give McDaniel more to work with than a coordinator usually gets, which is why this version of the offense can be more adaptable instead of just faster. The interesting part now is how far that flexibility can go if the Chargers get consistent work from the players around Herbert, because the scheme can be diverse only if the roles on the outside hold up.
