In the time it took me to write that last blog, The Buffalo News already has learned more about the Buffalo Bills' front-office situation.

A league source has informed me Bills owner Ralph Wilson is giving up organizational control of the team.

The stunning development would be monumental for the team moving forward and put the future of the team's on-field success solely in Russ Brandon's hands.

Two league sources have confirmed Brandon will be named Bills president, Wilson's former title.
