What do you want in a new tight end?
What kind of tight end would Beane want to add to his roster after saying he wants the position to improve this offseason? He beat around the bush completely and didn’t say anything specifically.
However, with the Zach Ertz trade rumors in mind, Beane only mentioned free agency and the 2021 NFL Draft as options of where he could find one.
“We’ll continue to look for free agents out there and we’ll continue to monitor the draft. We’ll continue to add depth to the position,” Beane said.
Beane also added that he has “big expectations” for Dawson Knox and said Tommy Sweeney is “excited about joining back in” after his COVID-related scare last year.
How can the run game improve?
After saying he wanted to improve the rushing attack earlier this offseason as well, Beane backtracked on that, or at least on the idea of needing to add something to the roster to make it better.
“We believe we have the pieces to run the ball better,” Beane said, and previously indicating otherwise.
In re-signing multiple pieces along the offensive line this offseason, the Bills’ actions this offseason match this.
“We can run the ball with the people we have,” McDermott later added.

“Those guys were in our plans, pre-cap going down,” Beane said.
If COVID-19 didn’t cause the salary cap decline, they both could still be with the Bills, according to the GM.
