Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane has been consistent in his approach to roster building since taking over the job following the 2017 NFL Draft. Beane aims to fill virtually every hole on his roster in free agency so he can use his draft picks to pick the best players available. But this year is a little different. The Bills have lost 11 players from last year’s team and only signed six so far in free agency that didn’t play for Buffalo a year ago. Beane and coach Sean McDermott echoed the same sentiment at the NFL’s scouting combine last month: Rookies are going to be asked to play significant roles next season. That’s the nature of the NFL when a team is paying their quarterback more than $50 million per season.
