Buffalo Bills - Retired numbers

• 12 Jim Kelly/Joe Ferguson
  • The numbers of O.J. Simpson (32), Thurman Thomas (34) and Bruce Smith (78) have not been officially retired, but none of these numbers have been reissued since those players left the team.
  • Since the earliest days of the team, the number 31 was not supposed to be issued to any player. The Bills had stationery and various other team merchandise showing a running player wearing that number and it was not supposed to represent any specific person but the 'spirit of the team.' This policy has been abandoned in recent years.
