Bills GM Brandon Beane on how Buffalo can be free agent destination
Orchard Park, N.Y. -- One of the top priorities for Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane this upcoming offseason is to bring in players to upgrade an offense that's been among the two or three worst in the NFL all season.
Buffalo isn't usually a popular choice when potential free agents start narrowing down the list of teams they're considering. But there are teams in cities with similar drawbacks that get players to sign.
Beane, who recognized the perception of Buffalo before he even took the job, said a major key to drawing free agent attention is being able to impress when answering the question: "Who's your quarterback?"
"I think if you have a franchise quarterback ... you look at Green Bay. They had (Brett) Favre and then they handed it right over to (Aaron) Rodgers," Beane told NYUP.com on Friday. "That's a very attractive place and they have a similar climate that we have."
