The Buffalo Bills are still undecided about honoring OJ Simpson on the new Legend Wall at Highmark Stadium. The Wall is part of a family circle plaza outside the venue, featuring tributes to franchise grates from the Wall of Fame. Designers have prepared layouts both with and without Simpson, according to the team's senior vice president of design. The plaza will center around three huge bison sculptures, a bull, a cow, and a calf, with benches and glowing plaques. The stadium is set to open this summer. Simpson stands out as one of the Bills top players ever. He's a pro football Hall of Famer, who earned the 1973 NFL, most valuable player award, and became the first to rush for over 2,000 yards in a season. He also led the league in rushing four times.
