Brandon Beane got a call from the NFL league office this week, a league source said, about the Buffalo Bills general manager's comments during a radio interview about whether he would hypothetically release an unvaccinated player if it meant the team reaching a league-imposed minimum percentage of vaccinated individuals.
The message the league delivered to Beane, according to the source, was that a team may not release a player solely due to vaccination status.
During an interview on "One Bills Live" on Wednesday, Beane was presented a scenario in which the Bills were one player away from reaching an undefined percentage of vaccinated players, asking if he would cut an unvaccinated player to return to normalcy.
