Brandon Beane not thrilled with J.D. McKissic situation

‘Beane then responded to a question about whether or not this complicates things with an organization in Washington, which he has many connections to people from his days with the Carolina Panthers. “Yeah, it does,” Beane said.’

Bills release defensive tackle Star Lotulelei

‘After missing the opening week of the season with a calf injury, Lotulelei returned to play the next seven contests, but then played in only four of the remaining nine games due to both injuries and being on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.’

Buffalo Bills release DT Star Lotulelei

‘Lotulelei, 32, hasn’t played a full season with the Bills since 2019. Prior to the 2020 season, Lotulelei opted out for the year due to COVID concerns. In 2021, Lotulelei played in just eight games.’

Bills GM Brandon Beane upset with Washington over signing J.D. McKissic

‘“That was tough. Obviously, he was a guy we targeted,” Beane said, choosing his words carefully. “You know, in this business, in general, when you have an agreement, it’s good. But until there’s ink on the paper, you know. His agents did a great job. Doug Hendrickson and CJ LaBoy did a great job. There was some things that went down with the other organization, which is painful. But they chose to do what they did, and I couldn’t stop it.”‘

Gov. Hochul: Ongoing stadium talks have been “productive”

‘The governor said the money for the stadium could come from the state budget or economic development funding. She added that she got the ball rolling on the latest round of stadium talks and she’s eager to get a deal done with the Pegulas.’

Von Miller an example of what Brandon Beane does best

‘It’s impossible to fully judge a contract without fully knowing the details which, as of this moment, are unavailable. What has been reported is that the Bills have guaranteed Miller the entirety of what it took the Raiders to lock up Chandler Jones. This is likely no sweetheart team deal. There’s a can being kicked down the road, the question is where it falls on the spectrum of tuna can to garbage can.’

Bills bring back Shaq Lawson on 1 year deal

‘A six-year veteran, Lawson was a first round draft pick by the organization in 2016. Upon the conclusion of his rookie deal, he spent the 2020 season with the Dolphins before the Jets claimed him last year, where he registered four sacks. It was reminiscent of his first go-around with the Bills.’

Hochul addresses Bills stadium funding during Buffalo visit

‘”There are two sources,” Hochul said. “Yes, it could be in the budget. Yes, there’s also economic development money on the table so we’ll be focusing on the funding. Certainly, we need to talk to continue our conversations with the team. They’ve been very productive for a number of months here.”‘

Why Bills general manager Brandon Beane swung big for Von Miller

‘”I don’t ever plan to be a big spender,” Beane shared. “I want to build and grow our own but I’m never going to shy away from seeing if there’s something there. And in this case, we all watched this guy down the playoff stretch and what he’s shown he’s still got. I’ve seen pass rushers in the history of the NFL do well late into their career and into the end of their 30s.’

Bills bring back Shaq Lawson

‘Lawson is entering his seventh season and most recently played for the New York Jets. In 2021, the defensive end saw action in seven games and had one sack, five tackles for loss and one interception.’
