Plus, examining whether the door has closed on Amari Cooper returning to the Bills.
During the NFL’s annual meeting in Palm Beach, FL, Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane was asked about whether wide receiver was a need the team was considering in the upcoming NFL Draft.
“Needs? I wouldn’t say needs, but we’ll look for competition,” Beane told reporters. “I would say our offense did pretty good last year. I think when you look across the board ...
