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.

Former NFL cornerback Vontae Davis was found dead Monday at a residence in South Florida, Davie police confirmed. He was 35.

"This morning, Davie Police Officers responded to 6051 SW 178th Avenue in reference to a medical call. Officers were called to the residence by the house assistant, who found the homeowner deceased. We can confirm that the deceased individual is Vontae Davis age 35. Preliminary information suggests that foul play is not involved," Davie police said in a statement.

Police said the investigation remains active.

The Buffalo Bills have gone to the playoffs in six of the last seven seasons, but many label them as unsuccessful because they haven't won a Super Bowl.

Josh Allen and the Bills have largely struggled in the postseason.

The Buffalo Bills have agreed to a three-year, $24 million deal with Curtis Samuel, according to a source.

The contract could be worth up to $30 million and includes $15 million guaranteed.

Bills general manager Brandon Beane was part of the Carolina Panthers front office that drafted Samuel in 2017, and offensive coordinator Joe Brady coached the wide receiver during the 2020 season in Carolina.

Samuel has gained 4,098 yards on 317 receptions and 121 carries with 29 touchdowns in seven seasons with the Washington Commanders and the Panthers.

Buffalo Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins has signed a three-year extension with the team.

The extension is worth $60.5 million and is expected to make Dawkins the fourth-highest-paid tackle in the league, according to sources.

Dawkins has started 106 of the 112 games in which he has appeared since being selected in the second round of the 2017 draft by the Bills. 

Taylor Rapp has agreed to a three-year contract extension with the Buffalo Bills.

The deal is worth up to $14.5 million, according to a report.

Rapp was a second-round pick of the Los Angeles Rams in 2019.

The Buffalo Bills made a series of moves on Wednesday to clear up a significant amount of cap space.

Buffalo released five players: safety Jordan Poyer, defensive back Siran Neal, wide receiver Deonte Harty, center Mitch Morse and running back Nyheim Hines.

The Bills will also release cornerback Tre'Davious White with a post-June 1 designation.

They will also restructure the contracts of cornerback Rasul Douglas and pass rusher Von Miller.

In total, the Bills saved over $37 million with the eight transactions. They will gain an additional $10.2 million in June when the release of White becomes official.

After these moves, the Bills are currently just $1,177,381 over the cap.

Mitch Trubisky has agreed to sign with the Buffalo Bills.

Trubisky was with the Bills previously in 2021 before signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2022.

Kyle Allen backed up Allen last season, but is set to hit free agency when it begins next week. 

Sean McDermott is confident the Buffalo Bills will make a deep playoff run in the near future.

The Bills are 73-41 in the regular season under McDermott, but they've failed to make it past the Kansas City Chiefs or Cincinnati Bengals in the playoffs over the last five seasons.

"It's not a matter of if. It's just a matter of when," McDermott said. "That is the relentless pursuit."
