Biggest winner in NFL free agency? Buffalo Bills, says one ESPN+ NFL expert
‘“Bills. I’m a huge proponent of the plan that the Bills have laid since coach Sean McDermott and eventually GM Brandon Beane were hired.

QB Josh Allen had one of the league’s weakest supporting casts in 2018, but that will not be the case next season.”’

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.’
