Who was the last player drafted by Buffalo that stayed and retired here. I started thinking about Kelsay and I think we'd have to go pre Flutie-Era to get to another one.

Schobel not too long ago, retied too soon, we could have used him

I'm glad people remember Brad Butler. Guy had all the potential in the world, really looked like he was going to solidify the right side for a long time, then poof. Gone.

He's teaching now IIRC?

I thought Butler had political aspirations?

You know the Bills have been a messed up organization for years when Chris Kelsay retires a Bill after 10 years and two contract extensions later. Usually during the draft when they say you can draft this guy and he will be your starter for the next decade you would think it was a great player. In the Bills case that type of player is Chris Freaking Kelsay of all people.

If only there would've been some draft people saying that if you draft Chris Kelsay he will be your starter for the next 10 years. It would've ended up true but not in the way anybody would've ever thought of that statement. Only the Bills would give an average player like Kelsay a couple contract extensions for 6+ million a year and end up being your starter for 10 years :rofl:

Yea, thought he worked with Jack Kemp while he was still alive, at least that's what I remember.

Such a shame his heart wasn't in football. Would have been a great guy to have and still have.

Tim Anderson?

I knew we were pretty sorry before I read this, but this just totally solidifies just how sorry this team has been for the past 15 years...

I suppose it was Schobel but he was released prior to retiring. He wouldnt commit to coming back so the team released him.

Prior to that it was Hansen. In 2001.

An NFL player staying with one team for their whole career and then retiring on their own terms is pretty rare for any team.
