No trades for Bills at deadline after ‘years of irresponsible decision making’

‘“There’s been way too many years of irresponsible decision making,” said Sean McDermott. “At the end of the day, I think you guys know we’re going to do things that are in the best interest of this organization, short and long term, and I think at the end of the day we didn’t find something that we would responsible for us to do.”’

‘“We re-teach,” McDermott said. “Whether it’s run defense or whatever it is as it relates to performance is re-teach the fundamentals.

For Bills, standing pat at NFL trade deadline made sense

‘According to an NFL source, General Manager Brandon Beane and his player-personnel staff had “plenty of discussions” about making a deal of some sort.
