Beane should have been the GM when Hurney left. A lot of wasted time for Beane, and he is not staying under Gettleman if he has a head coach he sees eye to eye with like McDermott.

Based on what qualifications or experience should Beane have been the GM?

[carpanfan96]

I'm assuming he's either new or trolling because at the time he had no qualifications and this place was livid at the thought of him even being considered.

He had pro personal experience and had been helping with the boards and contracts so he had some. He's been heavily involved in the draft process and even taking over the draft a few times since gettleman came in. So I don't think it will be long before he's named the GM so I'd be shocked if he left tbh

We picked before the Bills in the 6th. If we wanted Vallejo he was there for the taking.

The Bills did trade up to get in front of us twice in the 2nd round. The first time for Zay Jones who we were obviously interested in and the second time for Dion Dawkins who I could've potentially seen us being interested in. The Bills didn't make these moves to spite a team that isn't even in their conference, much less their division. But, in the case of Jones in particular, I could definitely see McD lobbying to get ahead of us because he knows our tendencies and processes better than anyone in the league not currently employed by the Panthers. He knows the types of guys we're going to like.

As ridiculous as it seems, for the reasons you mentioned previously as Beane risks his reputation i  such a scenario, it is plausible.  

I thought it particularly curious that in Gettleman and Rivera's presser (which I watched in its entirety), the last two or three questions from reporters were about McD and the Bills.  Gettleman said he hadn't been talking to McD, but Rivera volunteered that he had been texting with him.  A reporter then asked about the picks McD made, and with a wry smile Rivera said "he made some good picks..."  With the insinuation being that we liked those players ourselves, at least that is the feeling I got.  Then as they wrapped up the presser, they began to stand up from the table and a reporter asked DG if we were actually targeting Dion Dawkins instead of Moton at 64, which at the time, I thought was awfully curious and awkward...  DG responded with, "Awwww, c'mon [reporter's name]," stating he couldnt answer that.

After seeing how the draft played out, hiw many times they jumped ahead of us,  and now this news comes out - makes me wonder if it is possible Beane leaked the targets to McD with the promise he'd be handed the keys to the Bills' FO in return.

Hey guys not here to troll but clear air. For Zay Jones I knew Bills would be all over him after hiring the WR coach a few months back.. If you look at his bio http://prod.static.bills.clubs.nfl.com/assets/pdf/pdf-bios/McGeoghan-Phil.pdf.  http://www.buffalobills.com/team/coaches/mcgeoghan_phil/c273327c-1fee-416f-ba0b-1c917e0a4ea6  And we need a WR badly after Woods left for us. 
 
Trade up for OG but I think moving him to RT. After all I think Bills had the worst RT in football last year. Very need it and McDermott said worried they might go off. Just trying to help with info.

^This is Bradon Beane

Not worried about Beane  more worried about Gregory.

LOL This entire forum would have ended Jonestown style if that happened. 

Ignore him. I was hoping he had stopped coming on here with his terrible opinion 

[CatMan72]

He's in line to be a gm.... He wouldn't need to resort to Watergate tactics to get a job, just can't see someone being that stupid

And if he doesn't end up getting the job he just burned his bridges here. Also, don't think McDermott would operate this way.

Bills fire GM Doug Whaley.

Richardson is gullible enough to let this happen. He trust people way to much and the Bills tampered it seems.

It's a business folks. Nothing survives if it remains static. Buffalo wants to recreate what we've done here.

That's cool but you can't tamper with employees. Not even the Pats do that.

The Big Cat isn't the kind of dude you'd cross. He fired his own kids, the man is all about business

He has been crossed many times by the NFL and other players and done nothing. If the bills try to hire Bene the Panthers should file tampering charges.

Per Albert Breer via Twitter:

The Bills have fired general manager Doug Whaley. Writing had been on the wall for a while.
