Expand That's where he is working now. http://amvets.org/national-officers/ Quote National Executive Director Joseph R. Chenelly Joseph R. Chenelly was appointed national executive director of the nation’s fourth largest veterans service organization in May 2016.

Joe Chenelly is the first veteran of combat operations in Afghanistan and Iraq to lead one of the nation’s four largest veterans service organizations’ staffs. A native of Rochester, N.Y., Joe enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in 1998, serving with the 1st Marine Division, and was honorably discharged as a Staff Sergeant in April 2006. He is a combat veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom, having served in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Kuwait, East Timor and the Horn of Africa.

Joe was named one of the 100 “most influential journalists covering armed violence” by Action on Armed Violence in 2013. He was the first U.S. Marine combat correspondent to step into enemy territory after September 11, 2001, as a military reporter in Pakistan and Afghanistan. He also reported from the front-lines with American and allied forces in Kuwait and Iraq as that war began. He was on the ground for the start of both Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Joe served as AMVETS’ national communications director in 2005, and for the past eight years as assistant national director for communications for the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) in Washington, D.C. leading grassroots efforts through social networking and new media.

BillsFan130 Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 Joe C. Is he credible? I excuse my ignorance if he is well known, I just have never heard of him personally

Jamie Nails Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 He's credible for those asking. Always a bit circumspect, but has had verifiable inside info in the past- seemed like it was much more plentiful under Rex and Doug

Kirby Jackson Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 Joe Chenelley is credible for those asking. He’s pretty conservative too. He doesn’t usually speak up without the right info either. I would bet that his info is good. I trust him more than most others when it comes to the Bills. 3 1

Expand What he is speculating on is the same thing that is being speculated on by many of the NFL oriented sports shows that are blanketing the airways and blogsphere. What he is saying falls within the realm of plausibility. There is no secret what the Bills priority is in this draft. It has been clearly stated by the organization for more than a year. Just reading Joe C's history and work experience he seems like a very honorable and grounded person. I hope that what he is suggesting is actually true. 1
