Tim Graham of the Buffalo News reports that Brandon was under investigation for allegations of personal misconduct.
Brandon issued the following statement to the Buffalo News:
“I have been contemplating transitioning out of my role for some time. My goal when the Pegula’s purchased the franchise was to reach 20 years with the Bills in which I achieved this past November. Given where we are from a timing standpoint, particularly with the conclusion of the NFL Draft, now seems like the time to make that transition. As grateful as I am for the amazing experience and the incredible people I’ve had the privilege to work with the past two decades, I am just as anxious for the professional opportunities that lie ahead.”
Brandon began working for the Bills back in 1997 and worked his way to president by 2013. He had full control over the franchise and also served as the Sabres’ president since 2015.
