‘But his negative numbers are perhaps overblown. Allen was handicapped by a three-quarterback battle in training camp that prevented him from getting all the reps that he probably needed until he emerged as the No. 1 QB. And Allen missed four games in the middle of the season with a right elbow injury.’

Three 2019 NFL Combine Prospects Who Could Be A Fit For The Bills
‘There’s plenty to debate on whether there’s a need for a No. 1 WR in the league — both head coach Sean McDermott and GM Brandon Beane want guys who can catch the ball and make plays. Enter DK Metcalf from Ole Miss.’
How the Bills will use free agency to provide clean approach to draft
‘“One approach to free agency is to use it so we can look at the draft and take the best player available,” said head coach Sean McDermott. “Basically, that there are no position emergencies. So that’s one avenue. We’ll use the draft primarily to build our football team, but we do have some cap space to sign some free agent players and to add them into our culture and great atmosphere that we’re building in Buffalo.”’
Laying it on the line: Will Bills go for an offensive guard or tackle in first round?
‘“We’ve got some guys that are free agents that we could bring back, but you’re right, if all of them left, we could have two to three holes,” general manager Brandon Beane admitted. “We’ve done our homework. We’ll see what happens in free agency. We’ll try and make sure we add a couple of those back if it’s not those same guys, other guys that are coming from other teams. And then the draft. We’re focused on those guys. I think there is depth on the line as well and I think we’ll be able to find some value.”’
For Bills GM Brandon Beane, exploring possible trades is a delicate, deliberate process
‘“Listen, he’s on another team but here’s what I’ll say is good players like that you always do your due diligence,” Beane said. “You know I’ve made moves before. If there’s an opportunity at any position to make a move that we think is a good fit for us, we’ll do it.”’

Buffalo and Pitt connections would make Bills dream landing spot for RB Qadree Ollison
‘Ollison, who attended Canisius high school in Buffalo before moving on to Pitt, was a running back who enjoyed early success in his college career. After teammate, and fellow back, James Conner suffered a knee injury in the season opener, and later had to leave the team to battle cancer, Ollison stepped in as a redshirt freshman and pounded out 1,121 rushing yards with 11 touchdowns while averaging better than five yards per carry (5.3).’
Why this year’s combine is less stressful for Bills GM Brandon Beane
‘“I sleep a little bit better than I was last year at this time,” Beane said Thursday during his press conference with the national media at the NFL scouting combine. “It’s nice to know that we found a guy we believe in. We’ve got to do the right thing and build around him and add pieces, obviously, on offense.”’
Kyle Williams’ absence setting in for Sean McDermott, Brandon Beane
‘“It’s definitely a challenge. What he did for Sean and I, to help carry the torch in the locker room — you need guys like that who can carry your message,” Beane said. “We can’t be in the locker room, on the bus, in every meeting room, and so I can’t say I can go out and find a guy that can do what Kyle did for us. Sean and I have challenged some guys that will be coming back, to group effort, pick that up. I don’t know that there’s a guy who can do what Kyle did.”’
Five things Buffalo Bills GM Brandon Beane said at the NFL Scouting Combine on Thursday
‘When it all came to a head in the first round of the 2018 draft, Beane maneuvered his way up to the No. 7 spot and it was there where he selected Allen. Allen now goes into 2019 entrenched as the starter, and Matt Barkley and Derek Anderson are already signed up to be the backup and mentor, respectively, so Beane and his staff can turn their focus to the other positions of need on the roster, of which there are several.’
