Buffalo Bills aren't planning pre-draft luncheon with GM Doug Whaley, scouts

The Buffalo Bills pre-draft luncheon, an annual tradition when the team’s GM and select scouting-department members speak to the media, will not include Doug Whaley and his scouts this year.

According to Capaccio, Buffalo’s head coach Sean McDermott will answer (likely pre-draft) questions on April 20.

Per John Wawrow of the Associated Press, who’s covered the Bills for 17 years, no head coach has ever handled the pre-draft luncheon alone... until now.

Laying out all the read-between-the-line possibilities here, no Whaley at the pre-draft luncheon is most easily interpreted as foreshadowing for his firing or a demotion.
