O.J. Simpson’s name will not carry over into the Buffalo Bills’ new stadium.
The former NFL star, who died in 2024, had been honored at the team’s old home, where his jersey number was part of the Wall of Fame created in 1980. But when the Bills move into the new building this fall, that recognition will not follow. Instead, the franchise plans to celebrate team legends in the family circle area outside the stadium, and Simpson will not be among them.
Bills president of business operations Pete Guelli explained the decision 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.
Simpson’s legacy has long been shadowed by the murder case that made him one of the most notorious figures in American 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.
Now, one person who dated Nicole Brown Simpson in 1992 says the warning signs around O.J. were anything but hidden.
Joseph Perrulli told Page Six in a recent exclusive interview that Simpson’s alleged behavior was “an open secret.”
“I had people in the [movie] industry telling me about, you know, informing me about his abuse, so I knew,” he said.
Perrulli added that, at the time, there was little anyone could do to stop it.
“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.”

Dolphins May Already Have Another Draft Class Problem Brewing
The Dolphins draft haul from the past two years is already setting up a fresh round of front-office decisions, and the calendar is moving faster than Miami would probably like. General manager Jon-Eric Sullivan will have to sort through a number of contract questions after the 2026 season, with Patrick Paul headed toward a contract year in 2027 and no fifth-year option to soften the timeline.
Chop Robinson gives Miami a different kind of decision because the club does have a fifth-year option in play, and his 2026 performance figures to weigh heavily on how the Dolphins handle it. Elsewhere in that same class and the one around it, Jaylen Wright is not viewed as a sure long-term piece, Tahj Washington is fighting for a place at all, and Malik Washington has shown enough growth to look like part of the plan for now before his own contract situation comes due after 2027.

Dolphins May Have Let 5 Costly Roster Mistakes Walk Away
Miamis offseason roster churn left the front office with a familiar question: how much depth can a team afford to lose before it starts feeling the effects in the fall? The Dolphins moved on from a handful of players or let them test the market, and several of those names have already found new homes elsewhere, including stops with the Chiefs, Chargers, Giants and 49ers. For a team trying to keep pace in a competitive AFC, those are the kinds of departures that can look routine in March and a lot more significant once the games start counting.
What makes the situation worth watching is that this is not just about star power, but about the supporting cast that helps a roster hold together over a long season. Miamis decision-making around players such as Kader Kohou, Cole Strange, Elijah Campbell, Jack Jones and Alec Ingold could end up being judged less by what it saved in the moment and more by what it leaves exposed later. The real test will come when the Dolphins need reliable snaps, familiar roles and answers from the bottom and middle of the roster, and those are the spots that are hardest to replace on the fly.

Hill And Waddle Fell Agonizingly Short Of Dolphins History
Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle did plenty in Miami to leave a mark, but when it comes to the Dolphins all-time receiving yards list, both former stars ended up just short of history. O.J. McDuffie still owns the fifth and final spot on that leaderboard with 5,074 yards, a number that has become a small but stubborn benchmark for every wideout who has come through the building since.
Hill was closer than most people might realize, and Waddle was even nearer to becoming one of the five most productive receivers in franchise history. Instead, the current Miami pass-catching group is staring up at a record book that still feels a long way off, with Malik Washington leading the active receivers but nowhere near putting McDuffies place in real danger anytime soon.
