BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) â The heavy lifting for Brandon Beane is just getting started after the Buffalo Bills general manager upgraded the teamâs pass rush and bolstered its depth with eight selections in the NFL draft.
Beane has until Monday to make two critical decisions in determining whether to commit some $35 million in combined salary to pick up the fifth-year options for quarterback Josh Allen and middle linebacker Tremaine Edmunds.
Beane said Saturday heâll turn his attention to making those decisions now that the draft is over.
Whatever choices he makes, increased concern about the salary cap is part of the price of success for Buffaloâs shift from pushover to contender. The Bills are coming off a season in which they won their first AFC East title since 1995 and reached the AFC championship for the first time in 27 years.
