The Buffalo Bills have been one of the NFL’s top franchises since Sean McDermott took over as head coach in 2017. McDermott has led the Bills to the playoffs five of the six years he’s been their head coach and they entered 2023 with 3-straight AFC North division titles and a trip to the AFC Championship game in 2020.

The Jacksonville Jaguars finally appear to be ascending as a respected NFL organization after years of losing, dysfunction and turmoil. But according to a report on Wednesday night from The Athletic, a major scandal has been uncovered within the franchise. The report states a former Jacksonville Jaguars employee is accused of stealing more than $22 million from the franchise from 2019 to 2023 by exploiting the organization’s virtual credit card program, and he used that money to buy, among other items, two vehicles, a condominium and a designer watch worth over $95,000.

A report earlier this year noted that Olsen’s salary is $10 million…
