Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula is looking into the potential sale of a minority interest in the team, while emphasizing that no new investment would involve changing the Pegula family's controlling interest.

"The Pegula family has retained Allen & Company to explore the potential sale of a non-controlling, minority interest in the Bills," the team said in a statement. "These discussions only involve the Bills and no other team. No investment would be possible without Terry Pegula and the Pegula family maintaining a controlling interest in the team.

"Their continued commitment to Western New York, the new Highmark Stadium, our fans, and the other teams in their portfolio remains unchanged. Neither the team nor the Pegula family are able to comment further at this point."

O.J. Simpson has passed away at the age of 76

"On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren. During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace," a statement from his family said.

Simpson was acquitted for the muders of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman, but was later found liable for their deaths in a dicvil suit.

Simpson won the Heisman Trophy while at USC in 1968 and then had a Hall of Fame career in the NFL with the Buffalo Bills. Simpson later became an actor and broadcaster.

The Houston Texans have agreed to acquire Stefon Diggs from the Buffalo Bills for Minnesota's 2025 second round pick. The Texans will also receive a 2024 sixth round pick and a 2025 fifth round pick.

Digs signed a four-year, $96 million contract extension with the Bills in 2022. There was an expectation that Diggs and the Bills would restructure his contract this offseason. Buffalo will carry a $31 million dead cap number in 2024 following the trade.

During the 2023 season, Diggs caught 107 balls for 1,183 yards and eight touchdowns. 

Diggs is represented by Adisa Bakari.
