The Buffalo Bills have been called the Carolina Panthers of the north at times, as they have filled out their roster with those who played for general manager Brandon Beane and head coach Sean McDermott when the two were together in Carolina. While that hasn’t always been a completely fair assessment, the fact remains that most NFL staffs will default to players they know well in a pinch.
So, when some Bills players were injured early in the preseason, it came as little surprise that Buffalo signed players with connections to “McBeane” to replace those players on the roster.
