The Buffalo Bills and the independent organization of former players known as the Buffalo Bills Alumni Foundation will no longer formally work together, according to the alumni organization and the team which spoke to The Buffalo News this week. The biggest noticeable change for the group will be the inability to use the team’s two logos on their website or correspondences but there will also be financial ramifications.
The move underlies what many feel is a generational gap between older and younger alumni. The Bills hired 90s-era cornerback Marlon Kerner as their director of player engagement and alumni but most of those in power with the independent alumni group are twenty or thirty years older than Kerner, including organization president Booker Edgerson.
