As the Bills sent out several HC interview requests Wednesday morning, Terry Pegula conducted an interesting press conference. One of the topics covered a player who may not be long for Buffalo.
The longtime Bills owner interrupted football ops president/GM Brandon Beane on an answer regarding Keon Coleman, indicating the coaching staff pushed for the wide receiver’s selection in 2024. The Bills traded out of Round 1 to No. 33 and opened Day 2 of that draft with Coleman, but his second season — a playoff touchdown notwithstanding — brought considerable disappointment.

“I’ll address the Keon situation. The coaching staff pushed to draft Keon,” Pegula said. “I’m not saying Brandon wouldn’t have drafted him, but [Coleman] wasn’t his next choice. That was Brandon being a team player and taking advice of his coaching staff who felt strongly about the player. And you know, he’s taken — for some reason — heat over it, and not saying a word about it. But I’m here to tell you the true story.”
The Bills traded out of No. 28, allowing the Chiefs to come up and draft Xavier Worthy. Two more receivers — Ricky Pearsall, Xavier Legette — went to close Round 1. Coleman opened the draft’s second night despite running a 4.61-second 40-yard dash at the Combine. Beane is quoted on a pre-draft video indicating Coleman’s 4.57-second 40 time at Florida State’s pro day would help the team land him, and the GM confirmed he signed off on the pick.
“I made the pick,” Beane said. “Terry’s point was that we might have had a different order of personnel versus coaching, and I went that way. But ultimately, I’m not turning a pick for a player that I don’t think we can succeed with. So don’t misunderstand that.
“Keon Coleman is a young player that has been here two years, has two years left on his deal. It’s up to us to work with him and develop him. His issues have not been on the field. They’ve just been maturity things that he owns. I give him credit. … He doesn’t make excuses, which I appreciate.”
Sending the Dolphins and offer of first- and third-round picks for Jaylen Waddle at the deadline, the Bills scoured the market for wide receiver help. The team evidently did not out-offer the Jaguars or Seahawks for Jakobi Meyers or Rashid Shaheed, and it ended up adding a few options — including Brandin Cooks — via in-season free agency. Coleman’s lack of development keyed the team’s wide receiver need, with Josh Allen having little in terms of reliability at the position beyond Khalil Shakir.
At the time of the pick, Beane said Allen helped coaches scout receiver prospects. Coleman was among those the superstar passer preferred. It has not worked out thus far. By not singling out McDermott, Pegula left the door open to multiple Bills staffers pushing for Coleman. Joe Brady, among the team’s HC candidates, was in place as OC by then.
Although Coleman showed promise as a rookie (29 receptions, 556 yards, four touchdowns), he fell off after an explosive Week 1 outing this season. Coleman finished the regular season with 38 catches for 404 yards and four TDs. This sophomore season included healthy scratches, with Sean McDermott citing professionalism as an issue for the second-year player. With Gabriel Davis and Tyrell Shavers tearing ACLs in the Bills’ playoff opener, Coleman was thrust into a key role once again to close the campaign.
Being drafted 33rd overall, Coleman is due guaranteed money through 2027. The Bills guaranteed $9.64MM of Coleman’s $10.1MM rookie deal. That will factor into any trade talks. Even as Beane attempted to walk back Pegula’s comments, it is uncommon for an owner to single out a player in the way Pegula did. That points to potential Coleman trade availability, as the Bills will surely prioritize the WR position as they change coaching staffs this offseason.
I’d give up a future 7th for him. Take a flier and see if he can be fixed. He’s got pedigree.
Yup. And teams will say that same thing over the course of his career. Before you know it he’ll be retiring after 12 years and 7 teams.
It appears the future is bright for young Keon!
Hahaha the Bills keepin’ on Bill-in
“But I’m here to tell you the true story.”
Well Gee thanks Terry, but this is a rumor site….wild speculation is a lot more fun 🙂
That should be a red flag for any potential head coach.
For all good things that McDermott did with his successful run in Buffalo and then to throw him under the bus after firing him to justify promoting Beane was strange direction to go.
I mean he’s the one leaking to the media about how they had no receivers and no one drafted receivers he wanted or traded for receivers at the deadline like that would have made the difference this weekend. At least the owner is setting the record straight.
Yeah, Pegula has really floored his reputation in the last week. It’s stunning how badly he seems to have considered McDermott.
If the story about McDermott telling management that the roster needing better players at their yearly review is true, and it’s true that management fired him for it, it is absolutely incredible to me that Pegula could possibly think that these stories can convince us.
We don’t know what was said or who is telling the complete truth, but the entire football world has observed for the last two or three seasons that the Bills need better players at several positions. Even if we believe, in the most charitable light to Beane (as Pegula would have us do), that he merely went along with McDermott’s supposed overlordship over his roster, it’s still the GM’s job at the end of the day to find players. Beane did not find enough of them, whether it was because McDermott somehow forced him every time or because he couldn’t do it himself.
So do you really think the Patriots are a better roster than the Bills? Mind you, the Bills are the one paying the most expensive player in the league and have been drafting in the mid 20s for seven years. How about the Chiefs the last two years. How about the Bengals three years ago? These are all the teams you should be comparing them to because that’s who he’s been losing to in the playoffs. Sounds like they had more than enough to get it done. KC sure did. He should have gotten fired after 13 seconds.
“So do you really think the Patriots are a better roster than the Bills?”
Yes. Defensively, absolutely, though the Bills had a lot of injuries. Offensively, Cook is great, but Pats have better TEs and WRs.
Who thought that coming into the year? Not to mention that that whole group got elevated by the guy who every Buffalo fan wanted gone a couple of years ago. Without Diggs, the receiver rooms are a wash, and the TEs are a wash. They also spent like 300 mil on their defense, which the Bills can’t do because they’re paying a QB more than anyone else in the league. That’s how this works. You pay a QB. You draft late. Your roster loses depth and the QB has to cover up holes. They had enough to beat KC the last two years and the Bengals in 2023. They actually did beat the Chiefs in 2021 if not for their coach’s dumb decisions on that day. That all sounds like a coaching issue to me.
Allen is behind Deshaun, Mahomes, Lamar, Dak, Goff, and Tua in terms of cap hit for 2026.
Stop doing funny money tricks. He signed the highest paid contract in league history last summer. Do you think you just get to pretend that bill isn’t coming due because what the cap hit is. GM has to work around that. Stop acting obtuse. So you think they could afford 300 mil in new contracts on defense while paying a QB 55/60 mil a year. Is that your final answer?
Perhaps this would be easier if you told us who it is with Buffalo that is so good on their roster? Our lists are probably much sparser. Allen and Cook are definitely enviable players, but after that, it’s not too many. The Bills aren’t talentless by any means, but they definitely have less than their competition at the top and they’ve had pretty much the same guys for most of these years (even fewer, actually, counting the departure of Diggs and the fall of White, for example, neither of whom were replaced, or Poyer and Hyde, who weren’t replaced, or even Edmunds).
I mean, you have Allen, Cook, Dawkins, Milano, Oliver…and who else, really? Everyone after that is essentially a role player who needs to be in the right spot to be utilized effectively. There are a bunch of good players, not great players (like Shakir), and a lot of positions that don’t have either right now. Thompson and Bosa were good signings, but they’re veteran Band-Aids. There have been a lot of departures and no additions where they’ve been necessary, and even if the team was superbly talented, the GM’s job is to add new players in every circumstance. The cap limits that, obviously, but what has Beane done to make this team better in the last three years? I just don’t see the talent additions, and even with Allen’s extension (which is definitely the GM’s realm anyway, not the coach’s), they still need to add people in the draft if nothing else.
They have a top five offensive line. They have good LBs. Ed oliver is good. Russo is good. Their safeties are good. Shakir is a good receiver. Again, we’re not playing fantasy football here. Denver is the only team in the AFC with a better roster than them. That’s their immediate competition, the conference. Also, this is the totality of the situation under him, not just this last year ,which he did a very good job coaching around the depth that’s diminished with the QB contract and less desirable draft picks. Their roster in 2020, 2021, and 2022 was the best in the league top to bottom. What Denver and seattle are now, they were in those years, and to boot, they had a much better QB. If you didn’t think so, why did you, everybody, and their mama pick them to come out of the conference those years? Sentimental value? Why were they Super Bowl favorites? McDermott’s amazing schemes? What was it?
I am curious to see how long until we hear that Allen wants out.
Reports are he probably pushed for it.
Dumpster fire of a team
1 pick w/ years of drafting together & that’s all the owner can muster to justify promoting a bad GM?
If it wasn’t for terry (or rather Kim) pegula, the bills probably wouldn’t be in Buffalo anymore. It’s a shame Kim had her heart attack, she was the actual boss and she was damn good at it. It was a devastating loss for the team.
Terry isn’t built for on camera action. That said… I’m glad he cares enough to try something to get us over the hump. Everyone in buffalo knows, since he owns the sabres as well, terry pegula can sometimes let a losing situation linger. He can be slow to act. I’m glad, at the very least, he was decisive here.
Props to Terry for keeping the team in Buffalo, but this was a ridiculous press conference when A) you’re trying to woo potential head coaches and B) Keon Coleman is still on the team.
What HC sees the owner throw McDermott under the bus immediately after he’s fired and thinks, ‘Yeah, I want a piece of that’? For all of McDermott’s flaws, he had the Bills in the playoffs every year and gave you 9 good years. Treat him with respect and class.
As for Coleman, if you’re trying to build his confidence, congratulations, you’ve failed. If you’re trying to build his trade value, congratulations, you’ve failed. Can’t see Coleman coming back from this in Buffalo. So that’s a waste of a 2nd.
It was embarrassing and detrimental to the team and the positive culture McDermott helped create over the past 9 years. They both seemed totally unprepared despite having three days to get their story straight.
Yup. Just look at the statement that McDermott issued versus the one that Pegula made here. Even if you think that indirectly shading McDermott was the right thing to do, or that Coleman deserved it, let’s consider the practical consequences of shaming your long tenured and well liked head coach, and embarrassing one of your players who is still on the roster.
McDermott is already gone, and Coleman will be soon in all likelihood, and just because they didn’t get the success that they should have or that you wanted, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they didn’t work hard or alternatively that they didn’t have good relationships in the building. Other players and some staff will stay. They’ll remember how treated them. New staff and new players will see that, too. It behooves you as an owner to cultivate respect or positivity, even if you just don’t think that it’s right on its own merit.
Agreed. Terry should have kept his mouth shut and paid nothing but respect. Full stop. He needs to be more of a behind the scenes kind of owner. Maybe when she’s done playing tennis Jessica Pegula can take the reins! That girl is awesome!
Apparently we’re supposed to feel sorry for Pegula as he’s only seen his daughter play three times, yet he’s been spotted numerous times luxuriating off Rhode Island on his new mega yacht. Maybe hop on the company jet and catch a couple more matches?
Don’t get that confused with all the nonsense that’s been leaking through the media. Who do you think is saying that stuff to them? They’re not pulling out of thin air.
Maybe McDermott shouldn’t have been spouting off to his media contacts, talking about the roster wasn’t good enough when they had the very best roster in football for a good part of his time there. Who else you think put that story out there?
“talking about the roster wasn’t good enough when they had the very best roster in football for a good part of his time there.”
This is a subjective opinion that I do not agree with. Beane hasn’t been good at drafting, nor have his FA signings panned out. Flushed a 3rd rounder down the toilet for the shell of Amari Cooper, then refused to send a similar pick for Olave or Shaheed. So he’s also not good at trades.
They had the best roster in the league in 2019, 2020, and it’s arguable in 2021. That’s not subjective. That’s how everyone saw it, which is why they were Super Bowl favorites coming into those years.
Corection, 2020, 2021, and arguably 2022 but definitely those first two. They had All Pros at every level of the defense. They had Diggs as a #1 receiver. They had the All Pro QB. Then, their HC let a lead slip away in 13 seconds and got blown off the field at home against an inferior Bengal team everywhere except at receiver.
best roster in football? are you high?
So you’re going to sit here and lie that they didn’t have the best roster in football in 2019, 2020, and 2021?
This must be Brandon Beane or a close family member. No true NFL fan believes the Bills’ roster was stacked…no where near the skill levels of the Rams or 49ers outside JA and Cook.
Yeah, you people said the same thing on the Tomlin and Harbaugh stories. I guess I’m a family member of the truth. I’m just trying to figure out why you guys aren’t consistent through these stories. McDermott had the best roster of all of them, but you guys think he deserved, which is a funny word in and of itself, to keep his job through multiple bone crushing defeats, some of which he directly contributed to with bad coaching decisions. But the guy who had the worst roster and no QB needed to go while you had the same reaction to Harbaugh geting fired. I’m just looking for the consistency and the logic, but there is none. Again, literally no coach/Qb combo in the history of the league has ever won anything after five years together. None. No outliers. Waht did you see that next year was going to be the year for McDermott after a new crop of young QBs and their new HCs have already passed him by? Like I said, he should have gotten fired after 2021, so he should count himself lucky that he kept his job for five more years.
@realfootballfan, you said no coach/QB combo has ever won anything after five years together. Are you dumb? Vince Lombardi/Bart Starr did, and don’t forget the all time greatest combo of Brady/Belichick had success together after 5 years.
So you think the Rams and 49ers had better teams than them in 2019 and 2020? Like you’re saying that with a straight face? Mind you, I don’t even think the 49ers made the playoffs in 2020, and the Rams traded off Goff after 2019. The 49eers didn’t get CMC until two years later. But go ahead with your bad self spouting lies.
You are referring to the 49ers who made it to the Super Bowl for the 2019 season and then missed the playoffs the next year due to a league high number of injuries to their star players???
I hate the niners, but yeah those niner teams were better.
Addressed above. I had the years wrong. It was 2020, 2021, and 2022, and yes, the Bills were better than both those teams those years. The 49ers didn’t even make the playoffs in 2020, and the Rams went 10-6. They blew the Rams off the field to open 2021 in fact in week one the year after they won the Super Bowl. Top to bottom, they had more than enough to get it done those years, but McDermott didnt’. Thirteen seconds anybody? Blowout at home to an inferior Bengal team, anyone?
They may have been better than those Rams teams, but it’s a bit of a stretch to claim they were better than the niners teams that lost in the NFC Championship game in 2021 & 2022. Had they not had most of their starters decimated by season ending injuries in 2020, they would have at minimum made the playoffs.
The 49ers didn’t even make the playoffs in 2020. They were 6-10. They were a wild card team in 2021. In 2021, The Bills boat raced everyone until they played the 13 second game. Everyone thought they were better than everyone else those years, which is why everyone picked them to go to the Super Bowl all those years. You get a pass for first time jitters the first year, but year two and three, including the 13 second game and getting blown out at home to an inferior Bengal team is no excuse. He should have lost his job long ago if we’re being real. Again, they had All Pros at every level of the dfense, number one defense in football in 2021, second in 2022. Best roster in the elague. There were no weaknesses on those teams, yet he couldn’t get it done.
You torch McDermott for losing to the Bengals, but they ended up going to the Super Bowl. They beat every other playoff team in the AFC that year. You can keep repeating that it was the best roster in the league, but that doesn’t make it a better roster than the Chiefs, Eagles, or Rams of that same year. And being fixated on one or two years out of nine is tunnel vision.
But let’s address that 2021 argument, since you’ve brought it up several times. In 2021, Buffalo had two All-Pros (safeties Jordan Poyer, first team, and Micah Hyde, second team). That is fewer than the following teams: Atlanta (three), Baltimore (three), Chargers (three), Cincinnati (four), Cleveland (four), Dallas (three), Green Bay (three), Indianapolis (six), Kansas City (four), Rams (four), Las Vegas (three), Miami (three), Minnesota (three), New Orleans (four), New England (four), Philadelphia (five), San Francisco (four), and Tampa Bay (five). That’s eighteen teams. Over half the league had more All-Pros than Buffalo.
Still, is that a positive for a coach or a negative, to have All-Pros? Does he get any credit for developing them or playing in the right way? It seems to me that homegrown players who make All-Pro teams at multiple positions on defense, playing under a defensive coach, speaks well to that coach. That year, though, the Bills had the number one defense in the league. That’s with their number one corner (White-one All-Pro, in 2019, if we care) missing six games. That defense was #1 in points allowed, passing yards, third downs, and total yards. They did for fifteen straight games, too, to close out the year. And they did it without a single Pro Bowler.
But let’s take the other perspective, as you seem to be, and say that having All-Pros by default negates credit for the coach. What about last year, where the Bills had two second team All-Pros in Ray Davis and James Cook? Both play offense (special teams in Davis’ case, as that is where he earned his honors), not defense. They ranked 7th in total defense and 12th in scoring, with no Pro Bowlers or All-Pros. In 2024, Christian Benford was the only Bills defensive All-Pro. Going back further, the next Bills All-Pro I can see on defense was in 2023. That was Taron Johnson, a second teamer. He was the only one. In 2022, Matt Milano was a first teamer. He was the only pick on defense. We’ve already gone over 2021, where Poyer and Hyde made the first team. So, in the last five years, defensively, the Bills have had:
2025: 0
2024: 1
2023: 1
2022: 1
2021: 2
Let’s look at how many of those years Allen made the All-Pro team. He’s done it twice, 2020 and 2024, both second team.
Let’s look at the Bills’ record in those years:
2025: 12-5 (2nd in division)
2024: 13-4 (won division)
2023: 11-6 (won division)
2022: 13-3 (won division)
2021: 11-5 (won division)
So, if we say that Allen carried the teams and is the only reason that they won, then the All-Pro designations must be unrelated to how good the coach is, because he only made the All-Pro team twice (and once in the last five years). Given that the only other All-Pros in those years were James Cook (2025), Ray Davis (2025), Christian Benford (2024), Taron Johnson (2023), Dion Dawkins (2023-2021), Matt Milano (2022), Stefon Diggs (2022), Jordan Poyer (2021) and Micah Hyde (2021). So, a total of ten All-Pros in the last five seasons. Only two are repeat Pro Bowlers (Dawkins and Allen), and neither play defense. There’s never a year where McDermott had “All-Pros on ever level” of the defense. For context, in that one year that you referenced more than once (2021), the Bucs (and Eagles!) had 5 All-Pros. That’s 55% of the total number of All-Pros that the Bills have had in the last five years. I haven’t checked all of the other playoff teams, but I’d bet that their number of All-Pros is higher, too. The most number of All-Pros that Buffalo had in those years was three, in 2022 (only one played defense, and no, Allen wasn’t even one of them).
So, you keep making the argument that the Bills were the best roster in the league, but there’s not a single year that the All-Pro team reflects it. And it’s not like it’s close. More than half the league had more All-Pros than they did in the year that you referenced (2021-your “thirteen second game” that you’ve patented as a term). Ironically, the Bills’ worst record in the last five years was the year that they had those three All-Pros. So, I firstly don’t see how the Bills could have ever had the best roster in the league, and secondly, I don’t see how the All-Pro team (which is a very respectable institution, which I highly respect the utility of) reflects any notion that the Bills should be considered to be the best team in the league at any point recently. McDermott definitely held that team together, and his loss will certainly be reflected in their efforts going forward if they can’t accomplish what will be a very difficult task-finding a better coach.
By the way, for context, here are the teams who had the most All-Pros in the last five years:
2025: Denver (8)
2024: Detroit (10)
2023: Dallas (11)
2022: Philadelphia (10)
2021: Indianapolis (6)
That’s not even including the other teams behind those who blow the Bills out of the water (like the Ravens in 2024, who had 7, or the Bucs or Rams in 2021, who had 5). Struggling to see in which year the Bills have the best roster in the league.
These are the same fans commenting in here though that thought Mike Tomlin had a championship team without the MVP as his QB. Make it make sense. He got way more leeway than I would have given him. He actually lost a playoff game his QB put him up with 13 seconds to go.
Nothing quite like the owner of a team trying to attract a new coach and staff, then throwing the previous coaches under the bus. If I were a coach deciding where to interview, why would I want to work for someone (Terry Pegula) that is willing to scapegoat his coaches? The player personnel staff need to step up and take some ownership in talent evaluation and build confidence with Pegula that they know what their doing.
McDermott wasn’t perfect, but to blame Coleman’s (lack of) productivity on him and his staff is a reach at best.
They will want to work for him for two reasons. First, Beane corrected the owner and obviously didn’t feel threatened doing so. That means Pegula isn’t an irrational actor who will just fire you, it just means he’s emotional about the team winning… which is ultimately a good thing. Second, they will work for him so they can coach Josh Allen, the best player in the NFL. It’s a dream come true job.
Nah. Your second point is on the money about Josh Allen but Pegula showed his butt today. No one wants to work for an over-emotional owner who doesn’t treat people with respect or class, and who makes public statements ripping players. Anyone taking this job will be doing so in spite of Pegula so they can coach Allen. Josh Allen covers up so many flaws in the Bills organization.
So what would you call what McDermott’s been doing with his leaks to the media about receivers or the roster? I don’t remember anyone leaking how badly he botched some of those playoff games in past years. It’s only so much people are going to take before they address the BS.
Anyone with two working eyes could see that their receivers were the weak spot of the offense. It didn’t take a leak from inside the organization for anyone to see that.
Hell anyone playing fantasy football who rostered Allen knew that he was performing and they were winning in spite of their receivers.
The Bills WR corps has stunk on ice since they got rid of Diggs. No one needs a leak to see that.
I mean he runs Erherdt-Perkins as his system. That’s a conscious choice the coach made. He comes off the Andy Reid tree. maybe he should have run a more receiver-friendly system like the one Reid runs as a coach. You know who else had trouble finding receivers? New England, and then they got the guy who used to helm their receiver room and suddenly didn’t look like a disaster at the position. You remember how many guys, Hall of Fame guys at that, who went to New England and couldn’t get that system? Reggie Wayne quit after a month. Chad Johnson. Numerous draft picks to the point Belichick got ridiculed for it. But McDermott stuck with it, so start there. Fans think you just plug in a guy and it works like where he’s at, but it doesn’t work like that. Maybe he should have addressed this when none of his young receivers were developing like he wanted them to.
Yeah, because these sociopath coaches care what the last guy had to deal with. Whoever takes the job is going to work with the reining MVP a playoff roster, and get a guaranteed contract that will change their lives monetarily. Do you people live in the real world?
Plenty of evaluators said before the draft that Coleman had the body of a true outside X receiver, but that he would be better as a slot player because he couldn’t separate against press coverage. The Bills insisted on trying to make him a perimeter X anyway. I wonder if a change of role would help him.
Beane was adamant at the beginning of the season that his WR room was Super Bowl caliber. Yeah, no. He failed his way into a promotion and that stinks for die-hard Bills fans.
He also ran a 4.6 and is dumb as a rock.
“interesting press conference” is very kind. That was a S-show. Pegula is a fool.
Wow…..he threw Coleman under the bus, we didn’t even want Coleman, it was McDermott, wasn’t the owner or the GMs fault he sucks, he wasn’t our choice…..no way if I were Coleman I’d want to play for Buffalo next year
I mean he’s gotten benched and suspended several times this year. It’s safe to say that he probably won’t be there after this off-season unless he shapes up. It was a direct answer to McDermott whining about receivers on the roster to his media buddies. Nobody is stupid and has to pretend like they don’t know where that came from.
Nobody is arguing that Coleman has been good. Everybody is saying that publically castigating a receiver who is still on the roster (and at a position where you are weak at) is a terrible way to motivate your roster. If a guy stinks that bad, cut him and be done with it. Everybody will get it. Telling the world that he’s worthless is only going to hurt you.
That’s not even mentioning the downsides of castigating a long time coach, whether you think that he’s been bad or not. It only hurts you as an employer, and someone as successful as Pegula should know that.
If you haven’t noticed, most billionaires don’t have a filter. They literally run the world, so decorum is not their strong suit. I doubt he cares if he hurt his feelings.
I mean, obviously he doesn’t, but that doesn’t erase how dumb it is strategically. He really likes Beane, obviously, but even if you believe all of what was said is true and don’t care about the moral aspect of how to treat people who have worked for you, you should be cognizant of a bad image does in a business that needs to lure the best candidates to your organization (I.e., free agency and staff hiring, which the Bills now need to delve into for the first time in nine years).
So was the coaching Staff responsible for the Kaiir Elam pick too? Kincaid has been great as a round 1 player too.. oh wait Hairston had a great rookie year… What a ridiculous thing to say by the owner.
I think Beane frankly deserved to go more than McDermott. He has missed on way too many first picks for a team this close to contention. Drafting is his job.
Time to say goodbye to the bills
Quite the over reaction. The owners and GMs come and go, but fans will forgive them both if they bring in a coach like Kubiak and they disappear from the media. No true Bills fan wants to hear what they have to say after this week, and their lies and idiotic statements will fade over time if the changes get them to the Super Bowl. They have the core if they don’t muck it up. Beane needs to be on s ahort leash.
Hey Sean,
Please be careful under that bus.
Any GM fielding calls from Buffalo about Keon will say “the kid you didn’t want?”
He’s needed help since day one. Any Defense can/has put their best DB on him since there’s no other consistent/reliable deep threat.
Firing McDermott hasn’t changed that. It’s not like they currently have the cap space to make runs at Pickens or Aiyuk (not that I would in the latter; just an example). Even Wandale would be beneficial to their passing game.
… or they can continue to put the entire Offense on Josh’s shoulders (when they’re not running Cook into the ground)
You mean Wan’Dale Robinson, the Giants’ go-to guy who doesn’t carry any diva baggage.
This is Bull Schiste…Keon Clark was a healthy scratch versus the Buccaneers….and the Buccaneer secondary was Herrible Turrible and the Bills sat Clark…so what does that say….someone should ask Pegula since he knows everything
I mean give me a break
Who’s Keon Clark?
A turrible misspelling of Coleman
Complete and total Billshit
Im not sure the Bills will prioritize a WR.
Just a hunch.
Josh isn’t the highest-paid player in the league. He should be, but was willing to take less to help his team.
He may not want to take a team-friendly offer on his next contract after this week’s debacle.
Yes, he is. He got his contract readjusted last year.
I bet coaches are lining up for interviews now
I mean , honestly, I find Pegula’s comment hysterical really! What coaching staff with a room full of number 3 receivers wouldn’t be clamoring for a potential better wide receiver for their MVP Quarterback? Why do you think Beane went along with it? Another thing – why was the wide receiver room bereft with talent to begin with? So much so that they had to grab Brandon Cooks off the scrap heap. Was that McDermott’s fault to?
Never held a really good job myself, but last time I looked Owner and GM have more power than any coach. I jumped on Bills ship before they lost three Super Bowl in a row and have been Patriots fan ever since they drafted Bledsoe.
You comment doesn’t make any sense. First off they lost four straight Super Bowls and drew was drafted before the 4th one ended. I do admire your bandwagon jumping in public though
Bills lost so many in a row, I lose count all the time.
You lose count of four? 🙄
Owners should be seen, not heard. Just keep signing the checks.
Keon and a pick to the Eagles for AJ
Buffalo has some issues they need to fix before the draft if not sooner. One this owner needs to take a step back, and don’t become a Jerry Jones clone with the media. This firing of McDermott was not a spur of the moment, there are stories that McDermott told the owner this was not a SBowl roster before the trade deadline, yes McDermott might of went above the GM’s head, but it sounds like the owner did not like his coach saying or making that statement The other was why didn’t the GM make a deal or two for a WR or defensive player at the deadline. As the stories goes, he did not want to part with their first-round pick in 2026, which will be in the mid to low 20’s anyway. This owner needs just pay the bills and stay the heck away from a microphone. I believe the Bills even with a top QB, have set this organization back with this inept press conference, if I was contemplating becoming a HC for the Bills I would take a step back and look what organization I am getting into. If an owner is going to fire a HC for one game if we can take the owner at his word, and not look at the whole nine years of a resume.
Hey Beane don’t trust Pegula
