When Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane met with the media earlier this week, both of them discussed replacing departed members of their staff. For McDermott, it wasn’t a certainty yet but for Beane, he knew he had big shoes to fill.
Last May, Beane’s number 3 was hired by the Carolina Panthers when Dan Morgan left. Morgan’s job was split among the staff and they also lost lead negotiator Jim Overdorf, who stepped into semi-retirement. This week, Beane’s number 2 was hired by the New York Giants when Joe Schoen signed on to be the general manager in Jersey.
