Buffalo Rumblings
Plus, running through the Buffalo Bills best and worst contracts.
While the news might not have been music to the ears of Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane and head coach Sean McDermott, the chance to be featured on the NFL Films and HBO offseason production of the hit show, “Hard Knocks,” represents a terrific opportunity to showcase the Bills franchise to a national audience through free advertising.
There will be plenty of drama and intrigue surrounding which players earn a coveted 53-man roster spot, but the show is all about telling compelling stories and providing behind-the-scenes access to the fans.
Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off with thoughts on the potential stars and storylines that could emerge from Buffalo’s debut appearance on “Hard Knocks.”

A run through the Bills contracts to see which players are providing a great bang for their buck, and where the team was foolish in how it spent its money.
