NFL 'Satisfied' with Bills' Investigation of Russ Brandon Misconduct Allegations

The NFL released a statement Friday saying it was "satisfied" with the Buffalo Bills' investigation into allegations of workplace misconduct against former team executive Russ Brandon.

Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network provided the league's statement after Brandon resigned from his role as president of the Bills and the NHL's Buffalo Sabres last week.

"We are satisfied the club addressed the matter in a timely, thorough and appropriate manner," the statement read. "There will be no further action by the league office."

John Wawrow of the Associated Press reported the probe focused on an "alleged inappropriate relationship with a female employee."

Brandon's statement about his departure said he was considering an exit before the investigation:

"I have been contemplating transitioning out of my role for some time. My goal when the Pegula’s purchased the franchise was to reach 20 years with the Bills in which I achieved this past November. Given where we are from a timing standpoint, particularly with the conclusion of the NFL Draft, now seems like the time to make that transition. As grateful as I am for the amazing experience and the incredible people I’ve had the privilege to work with the past two decades, I am just as anxious for the professional opportunities that lie ahead."

He joined the Bills organization in 1997 and became president in 2013.

Rapoport noted the league's statement clears the way for Brandon to seek a job with another NFL team.
