Bill Polian informed Bills owner Terry Pegula on Thursday that he will remain as an ESPN NFL analyst and commentator for 2015 and beyond, according to an ESPN.com report on Thursday.

Pegula had reached out to Polian in an advisory capacity and eventually gauged his interest to head the team's front office. That led to further discussions, but Polian decided he was content with his current quality of personal and professional life. Pegula was understanding of Polian's position.
