On the way out I hope he doesn't take out Moore coming in.

I am waiting on the Knox announcement. That’s the one most interesting to me.

You bring in a new DC with a new system, don’t be surprised when he makes changes.

Another expected and good move. The guy isn’t getting love here and understandably most remembered for taking out his own players but in 2024 he had a few game changing plays for the bills.

He is an UFA already as contract ran out after 2025 season.

More likely "my defense must have guys that know the system, Rapp and Johnson are key. In fact i can't really let go anyone that knows the system" "go get me some of the guys we let go in the past who know the system"

Where’s Leonhard going to be playing DJ Moore on defense?

Omg, we added a WR to improve our weakest position group on the team. Beane lied! He said there would be zero changes!!!!111!1

Blame game.  A fair criticism of McD is that he always pushed blame off to someone else.  Beane was getting set up to be the scapegoat, and I think Pegula figures it out.  

Yup and that would be the "power play" move TPegs was talking about and very much so disliked.

Dude any guy on this team is as much a bean guy as it is a McDermott guy Terry pagula said 7 years ago Brandon Bean has final roster control 

 

Brandon Bean is the one giving out contracts to pro personnel and everything 

 

There is much his guys as they are Sean McDermott that's ludicrous Terry pagula said in 2019 he has final roster control

Highly disagree.  There are definitely guys McDermott brought on that Beane would have never kept.  I don't recall Pegula ever saying Beane had roster control completely.  Believe what you want though but as soon as McDermott is gone and so is Taron and Rapp the first chance they get.

Pegula 100% said beane had total roster control years ago before McDermott was fired

 

100% said he had final control 

 

They both reported to pegula and BB had final control

I'm saying years ago in like 2019 2020 when the paring was new pegula said they both report to him and BB had final roster and draft control 

 

That's was 100% on record

 

 McDermott didn't have the title of head coach / assistant GM 

 

Pegula said Bean had final control

Yes Beane had final roster control but he was not autonomous.  These guys each had their say.  They did not give Beane a promotion for no reason, Pegula wanted clarity.
