Surprise: Brandon Beane Is Now The Bills GM

[TheSpecialJuan]

Hopefully he doesn't take any of our scouts or Don Gregory with him.

Here's hoping that when Getts retires, we still have Acorsi to help with the next guy up. I'm actually ok with Beane going, as I'd rather our GMs be talent and scouting gurus, over being "Beane Counters."

Well then we should be happy to get the rat out of the building

Sure, but still upset that this happened. It is what it is though doubt the NFL will investigate a claim let alone help the franchise out in any way.

The first time I heard his name was when Hurney was fired for sucking.

The general huddle feeling was that of dread that this kid would become our GM.

Fast forward, now the huddle acts like we lost our actual GM.

 

Peace out Beane-Boy.

Just shows you how much of a push over JR really is.

I know @Jeremy Igo mentioned on here at the start of all of this that.  This isnt going to go over well with the Big Cat if it ended up happening.  Wonder what going on within the organization right now.

The Buffalo Bills have hired Panthers assistant general manager Brandon Beane as their general manager. Not a surprise considering his relationship with new head coach Sean McDermott, Carolinas defensive coordinator the past six seasons. Should make a good tandem.

Deuces. 

Dont know much about him, but I read he was a finance guy. Sounds a lot like Hurney. The Bills can have that...

Hope he succeeds, though.

He leaks the Panthers draft board and then just confirms it by being hired by the Bills. What does JR do, yup nothing. Maybe we will get an extra shield on the field this year. Whooooooh 

lol...it's all about moving on

Statement from Bills owner Terry Pegula on hiring Tuesday of Panthers assistant GM Brandon Beane as Bills GM: "During our search for a new General Manager, Brandon stood out to Kim and I as he embodies the type of leader and type of person we want in our organization. Brandon has excelled in a variety of roles for a Panthers team that has consistently competed at a high-level in this league. We feel his vast understanding and experience in many facets of football operations will be invaluable to our club moving forward. We also believe his vision for the Buffalo Bills combined with his detailed approach will help build a foundation for sustained success. We are pleased to welcome Brandon and his family to Buffalo."

Surprise: someone blames JR for something that he has nothing to do with

"a Panthers team that has consistently competed at a high-level in this league"

 

We haven't had back to back winning seasons in our franchise history. Does this guy know that??

[TheSpecialJuan]

I wonder if Gman will replace Beane?

What a great story for Beane. He literally started from the bottom and now he's here.

Yep, started off as an intern
