If no one volunteers to appear on HBO's NFL training camp and preseason series, the Bills are one team who could not refuse their selection this coming summer.
NFL teams aren't exactly beholden to HBO's television series Hard Knocks. The show, which takes an insider look at the front office, training camp, and day-to-day life of an NFL franchise during the preseason, often has trouble finding a team willing to bring the film crew aboard, due to the added scrutiny and publicity involved.
In 2013, the NFL announced an agreement designed to keep the Hard Knocks relationship going even if teams weren't willing; if no one volunteered, they could compel a franchise to appear on the show.
