Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane have said since their arrival that the transition of the team from pretender to contender was going to be a process.
They told us to “Respect The Process” as the team worked through a huge chunk of dead cap space in 2018 and growing pains with a litany of quarterbacks over the last two years.
They said they were going to build through the NFL draft and for the long term.
Then they tried to trade for Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Antonio Brown, a receiver about to turn 31 who has publicly thrown his current quarterback and entire team under the bus repeatedly.
