4 Notable Quotes: Brandon Beane
‘I’m trying to keep my words. That pissed me off, to be candid because it was an ignorant comment. I’m not on social media, but if you live in Buffalo or you know anything about Buffalo- don’t speak about Buffalo if you don’t know what this city and what this fan base is like. It really pissed me off because it’s not true and when you talk to players – how many guys flowed through here today? Eight, nine, whatever, and we could have had more. We didn’t have that narrative, it totally started with a bad rumor on the whole Antonio Brown thing. People looking for reasons, and they didn’t have all of the facts. Again, people that have been here, I can’t tell you how many people have commented, “This is amazing. This is awesome. What a facility. What a place. What a culture.” All of that stuff that we have going here and we love this city and all I want to say is anybody who says that doesn’t know Buffalo and really is just speaking out of ignorance.’

GM Brandon Beane’s 6 opinions on the Bills 2019 free agent class thus far
‘“Obviously our cap was in a position where we could be aggressive in spots where we needed to be, but again try to be smart with our money,” Beane said. “Our offense, we knew where we ranked statistically, and it held us back in some games. We were looking in all areas (on offense), other than quarterback, to improve. I think we got some guys who will come in here and compete. We told every single one of them nothing is guaranteed.”’

‘“Shows that they really care about winning here,” Beasley said. “They’re trying to make the things happen that they need to, to move forward. I’m just happy to be a part of that. I just want to do my part and do whatever I can to help us take that step forward.”’
6 ways free agent additions will impact the Bills 2019 roster
‘With Brown and Foster among the Bills options on the outside, NFL secondaries will need to think twice about putting a safety down in the box to stop the run. Going single safety high against those two with a quarterback in Josh Allen, who can throw it a mile, will be a very risky proposition.’
Bills Today: Buffalo named one of eight NFL teams to define the 2019 NFL offseason
‘Brown’s ability as an outside-the-numbers deep threat seems to fit well with second-year starter Josh Allen’s strong arm and willingness to push the ball down the field, and Beasley gives Buffalo an over-the-middle option that the team lacked last season. Allen struggled in his rookie year as a short to intermediate passer, but Beane’s attempts to build a receiving corps with varied skill sets is the right idea. The Bills didn’t give their highly drafted rookie quarterback much chance to succeed last season, but in Year 2, they’re providing Allen with a much better infrastructure—and they aren’t breaking the bank to do it.’
