With 2019 NFL season in the books, Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane have officially been at the helm for three seasons.
That’s three seasons of drafting, signing free agents and letting players formerly associated with the team’s former front office, led by general manager Doug Whaley, go.
With the current on-goings of the Bills, here’s the latest update on the Bills’ diminishing connections to Whaley, former head coach Rex Ryan, and the team’s past here:
LB Lorenzo Alexander
Following the 2019 season, linebacker, special teamer and team leader Lorenzo Alexander announced his retirement. The 36-year-old signed with the Bills to play special teams in April 2016, but due to injury saw a huge role with the team’s defense and earned a Pro Bowl nod with 12.5 sacks that year. In his Bills career, Alexander played 64 games, recording 274 tackles, 24 sacks and three interceptions. His leadership is what made him most appealing to the team’s current front office.
