'The 37-year-old McGeoghan has spent the past two seasons as the wide receivers coach at East Carolina. Prior to that he spent three years with the Miami Dolphins as assistant wide receivers coach.'

'Lubick is entering his ninth season in the NFL after spending the past two years with the Denver Broncos as the assistant wide receivers coach under Rick Dennison, now the Bills’ offensive coordinator. The 39-year-old Lubick spent four seasons (2010-14) as an offensive assistant with the Texans.'

'The team now has 15 coaches, but still needs to hire a defensive backs coach. Here's an updated look at the Bills' coaching staff after the Thursday hires.'

'Romo will turn 37 years old in April and is coming off a season in which he missed the first 10 games with a back injury and conceded his starting job to rookie Dak Prescott. He also missed the final 12 games of the 2015 season with a shoulder injury.'

'"If Carson Palmer retires, Romo could be an option in Arizona, and sources said the Cardinals are very high on Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson and could be prepared to trade up to land him this spring. If the Cardinals determine Watson is out of their reach, Tyrod Taylor is very appealing to Arizona and would be a great fit in Bruce Arians' scheme."'

'McGeoghan joins the Bills from the college ranks, having spent the past two seasons with East Carolina University, coaching receivers.'

'Jason La Canfora reported that team and league sources confirmed the interest. The report also states that Romo might be out of reach for the Bills because the 36-year-old quarterback has higher interest in playing for the Houston Texans, Denver Broncos, Arizona Cardinals, and Kansas City Chiefs.'

'There are many issues with this idea, though. At the top of the list: Would Romo want to come to Buffalo? There's a new coaching staff and a wacky front office situation. The team has some weapons on offense, led by running back LeSean McCoy.'

'McGeoghan takes over a potentially depleted group of wide receivers, with Sammy Watkins coming off a second operation on his left foot, and Robert Woods and Marquise Goodwin eligible to become unrestricted free agents next month.'

'Egorugwu was hired to be the Bills' defensive quality control coach after spending the past two seasons as a defensive staff assistant with the Baltimore Ravens. Egorugwu worked with linebackers coach Don Martindale in his time in Baltimore.'

'A report from CBS’ Jason La Canfora, citing both team and league sources, says the Bills have "significant interest" in Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo this offseason, but acknowledges that might be a tough sell because Romo would prefer to go to either the Texans, Broncos, Cardinals, or Chiefs.'

'Bringing in the soon-to-be 37-year old quarterback is good for the next year or two, but that's more of a band-aid on the franchise. It would afford them the opportunity to take a quarterback in the first two rounds, develop that player, and hope they are the answer for the long-term.'

'The Buffalo Bills announced today that five coaches have been added to the team’s staff – Phil McGeoghan, John Egorugwu, Marc Lubick, Matt Smiley and Bill Teerlinck.'

'The anthem music was played in 4/4 time, slower than the typical 3/4 time. The aim was to make Houston’s rendition more soulful.'
