Buffalo, NY – September 29, 2025

Terrence Michael “Terry” Pegula, owner of the Buffalo Bills since 2014, has announced that he has been diagnosed with cancer. At 74, Pegula vowed to confront the illness with the same determination that has defined his stewardship of the franchise and the city of Buffalo.

“I have recently been diagnosed with cancer and am undergoing treatment with the guidance of an outstanding medical team,” Pegula said in a statement. “Every Buffalo win is my strength, and I’m determined to keep cheering this team forward.”

Pegula’s tenure as Bills owner reshaped the franchise’s trajectory. Alongside his wife, Kim, he purchased the team in 2014 for $1.4 billion, ensuring the Bills would remain in Buffalo. Under his ownership, the team reemerged as an AFC powerhouse, advancing to multiple playoff appearances and capturing three AFC East titles behind star quarterback Josh Allen.

Off the field, Pegula has been instrumental in revitalizing Buffalo’s sports landscape. He invested heavily into Pegula Sports and Entertainment, supporting both the Bills and the NHL’s Buffalo Sabres. Most notably, he secured a new $1.4 billion stadium project in Orchard Park, slated to open in 2026, symbolizing the long-term future of the franchise in Western New York.

Beyond sports, Pegula has contributed millions toward community development, higher education, and healthcare initiatives in Western New York and Pennsylvania. His philanthropic work includes major gifts to Penn State University and local organizations across Buffalo.

The announcement of his diagnosis has sparked an outpouring of support from Bills fans and the wider NFL community. Many have taken to social media to thank Pegula for safeguarding Buffalo football and to offer prayers as he faces this new personal battle.

Known for his devotion to Buffalo’s resilience, Pegula remains a symbol of determination and loyalty. His fight now mirrors the grit of the city he has long championed — a reminder that the Bills’ story has always been about more than just football.

Bills Cheerleader Sues Bills Player for Sexual Harassment After He Relentlessly Flirted With Her – Despite Being Married with a Child
BUFFALO, NY – December 11, 2025 A bombshell lawsuit has just been filed in Erie County Court that has all of Western New York talking. Ashley, the 24-year-old face of the Buffalo Jills and widely regarded as the squad’s most popular and recognizable cheerleader, has officially sued a current Buffalo Bills player for what her legal team calls “persistent and unwanted sexual harassment through aggressive flirting” – even though the player is married with a young child. Court documents obtained today name 27-year-old Shane Buechele – the Bills’ third-string QB who married his high-school sweetheart Reiley in 2022 and has a 2-year-old son – as the defendant. What the lawsuit alleges: Since the start of the 2025 season, Buechele allegedly began sending Ashley private Instagram messages after every home game, complimenting her looks and performances with increasingly suggestive language. Multiple late-night phone calls (some as late as 2-3 a.m.) in which Buechele allegedly complained about his lack of playing time, “just wanted to hear her voice,” and invited her for private coffee meet-ups. Unsolicited shirtless and suggestive photos sent directly to Ashley’s phone. Repeatedly showing up “by coincidence” at community and charity events Ashley was scheduled to attend, creating unwanted one-on-one encounters. In the filing, Ashley states: “I made it crystal clear on multiple occasions that I only wanted a professional relationship and was focused on my career. He completely ignored my boundaries. The middle-of-the-night calls left me terrified and suffering from severe insomnia. This has taken a serious toll on my mental health.” Immediate fallout: The Buffalo Bills have suspended Shane Buechele indefinitely without pay pending an internal investigation. Reiley Buechele has locked all of her social media accounts and has made no public statement. Ashley’s attorney says they will seek damages “well into seven figures” and hope the case sets a precedent for better protection of NFL cheerleaders league-wide. The NFL has confirmed it is monitoring the situation closely and may impose additional discipline. One Bills Mafia is completely split: #TeamAshley supporters are demanding Buechele be cut immediately: “Married with a kid and still doing this? Disgusting.” Others are calling it an overreaction: “Flirty DMs and compliments? This feels like a money grab or a PR stunt.” The case is still in its earliest stages, with an initial court appearance expected in early 2026.
