Bills GM’s has funny quote on trade to acquire Josh Allen

The Buffalo Bills made an A+ move when they traded up to land quarterback Josh Allen back in the 2018 NFL Draft. But not everybody gave the trade a passing grade at the time.

The Bills traded their own 12th pick plus the 53rd and 56th picks to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in order to move up a mere five spots to select Allen. The Wyoming alum was considered a tantalizing, but incredibly raw prospect at the time.

During his press conference Tuesday at the NFL combine, Bills general manager Brandon Beane recounted the criticism his front office received for using so much draft capital to secure Allen.

“I mean, we got criticized a little bit for how much we gave up for Josh. And I’m like, ‘Well, if he doesn’t work out, I’m not going to be here anyway. And if he does work out, nobody’s gonna give a s–t,’” said Beane (profanity edited by LBS).
