The name is Beane. Brandon Beane. General manager of the Buffalo Bills.
He took over the Doug Whaley and Rex Ryan’s mess but was not brought in until after the 2017 NFL Draft. At the time, he was still taking care of business in Carolina as assistant general manager with the Panthers.
So as much as we heard that Whaley was handling that last draft, Sean McDermott was calling the shots with the Pegulas. The new coach certainly lobbied for ownership to hire his colleague from Carolina. These two did go to a Super Bowl with the Panthers, eventually losing to the Denver Broncos.
