ORCHARD PARK, N.Y.—A person with direct knowledge of the decision tells The Associated Press that Buffalo Bills and Sabres president Russ Brandon is leaving his post in a major shakeup made by the teams’ owners, Terry and Kim Pegula. It was not immediately unclear whether Brandon is stepping down or being fired. The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the teams have not announced Brandon’s departure. Brandon spent 20 years with the Bills in various roles, from marketing to football decisions during a two-year stint as general manager from 2008-09. Brandon most recently served as the Bills managing partner, and was the Sabres alternate on the NHL’s board of governors and a member of the NFL’s business ventures committee.
