John from Riverside Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 The front office year ends with the draft. May is the best time to start fresh. I do agree with this Maybe it is a timing issue...maybe the bills did not want to lose all the work that had been done leading up to and through the draft....once you draft the players training camp comes next and its about the coaches and players. Frankly I was a little suprised (regardless of how I feel about Whaley) that he survived the purge when RR was let go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 But is it unprecedented, Mr. C? By the way, how does it leave the Bills in a bad position? The draft will be over, they've got time to hire a new GM and scouts, and further roster moves aside from UDFA signings are minimal. I may be able to name them all as well. I used to look forward to coming home and catching an episode after school. have you used Al yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddo Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I don't much like the sound of the way this is going . McDermott needs to prove himself as a HC first and foremost, before getting involved in everything else. The likes of Reid and Belichick, earned the extra power they got, it wasn't just handed over to them. Gotta walk before you can run, son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 The NFL Rumor Mill operates at full capacity this time every year. It's kind of fun if you don't take the stuff it generates too seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirate Angel Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 IMO Whaley has done a decent job bringing in talent, whoever was behind the Rex hiring really threw a grenade in the middle of what was looking like a competitive team. If it was Whaley than I'm all for the firing but from what I read he wasn't in on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
par73 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 This story has strange timing. I assume that if it is true, Whaley must be aware (although given the Ryan story, I am not sure). So he cannot be involved in draft decisions then, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see if Whaley is in the draft war room when they show pics from it and, if so, where he is sitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make no mistake the BS over at OBD is far from over. I am sure el pegul in private is a nice and interesting guy. As evidenced by the two teams he owns though he continues to meddle in big hires. With zero (proven) success. His hockey team couldn't even tank correctly and keeps raising ticket prices for the fans too pay for trash sub par hockey. Himself and Kim are now the biggest obstacle to success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Tim GrahamVerified account @ByTimGraham On eve of NFL draft, the Bills' front office is in disarray. Have heard they are reaching out to Green Bay http://tinyurl.com/gqy5gng They aren't in disarray, just continuing the house cleaning that began with Wrecks but couldn't be done at that time because they were in too deep into player evaluation.

NewEraBills Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I can only speculate but this seems to be something that had long been known by the parties involved. Just like with the new coaching staff the cleaned the slate, I think this was the plan all along, namely to clean the entire slate after everyone had completed their job. After the draft the scouting department will have done their job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
