Summary

Did Brandon Beane’s off-season moves set the Buffalo Bills up for a Super Bowl, or leave fans wanting more? Joe Marino cuts through the buzz to break down Beane’s biggest wins—like locking up Josh Allen on a non-market resetting deal and nabbing Christian Benford on the cheap—while questioning pricey free agent swings that didn’t connect, including Josh Palmer and Joey Bosa. From the tough calls to let go of guys like Mack Hollins and Von Miller, to the excitement around rookie Max Harrison and late additions like Jordan Poyer and Shaq Thompson, this episode covers it all. Punt return problems, wide receiver woes, and a defensive line that couldn’t stay healthy steal the spotlight. With a new head coach on the horizon and some roster holes to fill, can the Bills keep their Super Bowl hopes alive?
