Re: Why is Russ Brandon still employed?
Because of his Oscar worthy performance in Draft Day.
"Then you know the offer is reasonable..." replaced "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse" as the number 1 movie quote of all time.
You don't let talent like that slip away.

Not sure things have changed all that much, tbh.

He went to all the owner meetings back when Ralph was slipping and probably does a good job on the business side. I doubt he has anything to do with football anymore, with McDermott here.
He's not going away, like it or not. He was offered the Raiders presidency a couple years back but declined.Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit

Re: Why is Russ Brandon still employed?
Besides the late Ralph C. Wilson, Jr., Russ Brandon is probably the biggest reason why the Buffalo Bills are still playing in Buffalo.
Russ Brandon was basically put in charge of the franchise in Ralph's last days as owner.
He did a masterful job of keeping the Bills in Buffalo, fulfilling Ralph Wilson's wishes to keep the Bills in Buffalo.

Re: Why is Russ Brandon still employed?
Because he is an very successful executive with a ton of business savvy. He is involved with many of the Pegula's ventures and apparently does a great job.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
