Hopefully rainman and the bunch take a hike. The fact the we are contemplating not picking up Watkins option for the fifth year is astounding to me.

I agree with the Watkins thought but odd we're ready to toss Whaley aside after having one of the better drafts the last three days.

i believe that's a separate issue based on his foot progress.

Bills would be on the hook for 13 + Mil in 2018. They still have time to gather info and make a final decision. Drafting Jones helped ease the pain. If they decline and he's hurt again this year, they owe him nothing.

Its quite an indictment on Whaley either way you go.

I'm sensing in regards to Pegula's growth as an owner he's hyper impressed with McDermott and wants that reflected in both the Sabres and Bills.

I think Doug Whaley stays with the Bills, but not as GM.

Why the **** does the new GM have to be from Carolina though?

I just hate how the league works like this. Everyone just seems to make hires based on who they know... Not on who the best candidate would be.

Not sure he would know this, but Jerry Sullivan weeted this;

"False report, Pegula wants to right the ship. Whaley back to scouting and McDermott will handle 53."

When I saw this curious post by Sullivan I thought to myself, what a great way to find out who the mole is leaking all this info to the media.

So lets get the show rolling here.

Saw this today:

Buffalo Bills GM Doug Whaley could be fired as soon as Sunday (report) (http://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2017/04/buffalo_bills_gm_doug_whaley_could_be_fired_as_soon_as_sunday_report.html), which focused on LaCanfora's report.

Trust me, Brandon Beane is more than qualify to take over as the new GM...

Panther have been grooming him for a while now to take over when their other guy leaves.

Fans seem to love him and would hate to see him go...Personally, I would easily welcome him here.

With Whaley now fired ( and I'm assuming a good deal of scouts ), The Carolina guy seems like the right move. If McDermott can talk to him and trust his work, then it's all good.

Hiring Brandon Beane to take over as GM would be a great move, I really hope it happens.

Not sure what the excitement is about. Carolina only had 2 winning seasons out of the past 8.

Not sure what the excitement is about. Carolina only had 2 winning seasons out of the past 8. 2 of 3 when they finally got there franchise QB. Beane was a player in getting Cam.

Sullivan got it wrong...there's a shock...

You have no way of knowing that.
