Buffalo Bills (official thread)

Bills name Joe Brady offensive coordinator, remove interim tag​

The Bills have promoted interim offensive coordinator Joe Brady to the full-time offensive coordinator position, keeping a key component to the team's turnaround in 2023 that led to a playoff push and the AFC East title.

Olympic gold medal wrestler Gable Steveson signing with Bills​

Gable Steveson, an Olympic gold medalist and one of the most dominant college wrestlers in NCAA history, is jumping to the NFL to sign with the Buffalo Bills, his agent Carter Chow told ESPN.

Steveson, 24, is signing the standard rookie three-year deal, and he now will set out to join Bob Hayes as the only athlete ever to win a Super Bowl ring and an Olympic gold medal. The Bills also announced his signing Friday.

Steveson said he knows the learning curve will be steep but is excited for the opportunity.

"I have been fortunate to compete at the highest level of competition in my sport but am looking forward to the challenge of seeing how my wrestling skills may translate to football," Steveson said. "I am grateful to Coach [Sean] McDermott, [GM] Brandon Beane and the Buffalo Bills organization for giving me this opportunity."

He was signed by WWE in 2021 before being released by the pro wrestling company earlier this month.

How Steveson got to football is another story. Chow is friendly with prominent MMA managers Dave Martin and Rich Chou at the MAG Agency. They have worked with many Olympic, UFC and WWE athletes over the years, including Steveson. Chow and Steveson were introduced as NFL opportunities began to surface. Once they did, Steveson opted for the Bills.

Just sayin': I just have to think he'll have a very hard time making the team.

Bills Mafia Floods Tua Tagovailoa's Foundation With Donations in Response to QB's Concussion​

A classy move from the rival fan base....8D

Buffalo Bills fans just get it.

In the days following Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's concussion that knocked him out of the Dolphins' 31–10 loss to the Bills on Thursday Night Football, Buffalo fans ventured to his foundation's website to offer some generous donations.

According to ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques, the Tua Foundation received nearly $18,000 in about 1,000 donations in the 24 hours after Tagovailoa exited Thursday's game. The foundation told ESPN that a large chunk of those donations came from the Buffalo area.

That's quite the classy move from a rival AFC East fan base.

It's far from the first time Bills fans have stepped up and donated to a charitable cause. They did the same for the Tua Foundation in 2022 after Tagovailoa suffered a concussion in a primetime game against the Cincinnati Bengals. They also donated to Bills kicker Tyler Bass's charity after he missed a potential game-tying field goal in the closing minutes of last year's playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Sometimes, it's bigger than football. And the Bills Mafia, one of the NFL's most rambunctious fanbases, is better at showing that than most.
