Bills Today | NFL holding ‘dry run’ draft with league’s general managers

‘”This type of dry run is where a lot of the questions we have get answered,” said Beane. “I think the league needs to have an option where if you lose your WiFi or you do lose power that a team can turn to their cell phone and call in a pick. I think it’ll be important for everyone to have a backup plan if you do lose power. For example, having a board to use manually if you do need to turn to it.”‘

NFL Draft 2020: Buffalo Bills showing ‘legitimate interest’ in FIU QB James Morgan

‘It’s unlikely that Buffalo will add a veteran quarterback to compete against Barkley for the No. 2 job, but another quarterback could be added during the 2020 NFL Draft. One name to watch is FIU quarterback James Morgan. According to Eric Edholm of Yahoo Sports reported that Buffalo was one of 14 teams showing legitimate interest in the quarterback.’

Bills GM Brandon Beane supports the idea of a 10-round NFL Draft

‘”When you’re doing free agency like that after the seventh round, you’ve got everybody still in your draft room or at least down the hall,” Beane told Florio. “Now, trying to communicate because you only have so many dollars that you can allocate from a bonus and so lot of times you have several deals going. Once you agree to one you’ve got to pull out of the others. If you’re chasing three tackles hoping to land one. If you’ve offered $15,000 to one and maybe you’re talking $12,000 to the other, but you don’t want them both. Once you get one in the boat you’ve got to back out on the other. It’s a moving target. I think that will be an obstacle for all teams as we work through it remotely.”’

Bills Today | Stefon Diggs: I think it’s a team that’s ready to be great

‘I’m getting even more excited just writing about it. I mean, honestly, if you look at this Bills team — if you look at it RIGHT NOW, in 2020? I think it’s a team that’s ready to be great. I don’t know how anybody could look at this team, this roster, and the passion this team plays with and not be excited to be a part of it.”‘

Bills players turn to trainers to keep bodies, minds right amid pandemic

‘“They’ve got to be smart,” Bills General Manager Brandon Beane said. “They’ve got to be safe if they’re around somebody else, a trainer, or if they are with a teammate or even a guy who plays in the league. Having the personal trainers is important, but at the same time we’re encouraging all of our guys – health – your personal health is first and foremost important at this time.”’

Bills Mailbag: Could Jadeveon Clowney be an option if his price tag comes down?

‘Clowney’s asking price isn’t going to come down to a point that General Manager Brandon Beane is comfortable with. Even if it did, why would he choose the Bills? At best, he would be part of a rotation at defensive end. If Clowney is going to sign a cheap, short-term deal, he’s going to do it with a team that’s offering plenty of playing time, so he can rebuild his value and head into free agency again soon.’

Milt Remembers: The day Fergy and the Bills frustrated Marino the first time

‘And, Joe Ferguson of the Bills passed for five touchdowns, tying his own Bills record, and 419 yards, another team record. The passing yardage total is still second in club history behind Drew Bledsoe’s, 463. Fergy’s 38 pass completions that day are also a Bills record, that was tied by Kyle Orton in 2014.’
