Breaking News: Buffalo Bills Quarterback Jordan Masters Found Dead in Apparent Suicide
Buffalo, NY — The NFL and Buffalo Bills fans are reeling from the devastating news that Jordan Masters, the star quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, has been found dead at the age of 28. Authorities are investigating the cause of death, which they are calling an apparent suicide. Masters was discovered at his home in Orchard Park, New York, early this morning.
Family members found Masters unresponsive and immediately contacted emergency services, but he was declared dead at the scene. A note was reportedly found at the location, though its contents have not been made public as investigators continue to piece together the circumstances surrounding his death.
The Buffalo Bills issued a statement confirming the loss of their quarterback:
> “With heavy hearts, we share the tragic news that Jordan Masters has passed away. Jordan was a remarkable leader and teammate, a true talent, and a beloved figure in the Buffalo community. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, his teammates, and everyone whose lives he touched.”
A Rising Star
Masters had been a standout player since joining the Bills in 2020, quickly becoming the team’s starting quarterback. His leadership on and off the field led Buffalo to three straight playoff appearances, and he was widely regarded as one of the most talented young quarterbacks in the NFL.
His on-field success, combined with his quiet yet charismatic presence, made him a fan favorite. Teammates often spoke of his dedication, humility, and passion for the game. One teammate shared:
> “He was our rock. We looked up to him, not just as a quarterback but as a person. Jordan gave everything to this team, and this loss is unimaginable.”
Mental Health Struggles
Although Masters was known for his poise under pressure, sources close to the quarterback have revealed that he had been privately struggling with mental health challenges in recent months. While Masters had spoken occasionally about personal struggles, those closest to him say that he had kept the full extent of his difficulties private. It is now known that Masters had missed several voluntary workouts this offseason, citing personal reasons.
NFL officials have expressed deep sorrow and sympathy. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement:
> “We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of Jordan Masters. He was not just an incredible athlete, but a kind and compassionate person.
