I can’t really put the carriage before the horse, you know what I’m saying? But I’ve got a great offseason in front of me to put a lot of work in, and build around what we’ve got and what we’re doing,”‘

‘Babich becomes the first defensive coordinator under head coach Sean McDermott since Leslie Frasier stepped away last offseason. Frazier was heading into the 2024 offseason without a contract with the Bills.’

‘Beane noted that the roster will need to get younger in some areas, and that it will be imperative to hit on this year’s draft in order for to acquire those younger, cheaper players to contribute.’

‘”I’m extremely proud of what we’ve accomplished, but not in any way satisfied or going to get complacent with where we’re at,” said McDermott on Tuesday. “Every year, you start over and every year, I can tell you and promise you that fire burns within me bright as it did the year before, if not more. We’re disappointed, yes, but not broken.”‘

‘”Buffalo already felt more like home than any other place ever did. You gave us an instant sense of belonging,” Hyde recollected.’
