How Bills fans made Buffalo a special place to play for Aaron Williams and others

That, unfortunately, is the cold hard truth about professional football.

The Bills have dealt with some player moves this week - Aaron Williams retirement announcement and Eric Wood’s statement that his playing days are over. And both cases bring to light the difficulty players have in ending their NFL careers and what they take from their time in Buffalo.

Former safety Aaron Williams formalized his retirement decision this week, one season after his last game in a Bills uniform. Williams waited one full year from his last game to announce his retirement and he did it in a reflective, thoughtful post on The Players Tribune website.
