It’s been a whirlwind week for general manager Brandon Beane and the Buffalo Bills, who, like their NFL counterparts had to trim down their roster to 53 players by Tuesday afternoon’s deadline.

After making a round of roster cuts and signing 16 players to the team’s practice squad, today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by hearing from Beane on what went into his decision-making surrounding Buffalo’s roster.

Beane addressed the timeline for future Pro Football Hall of Famer Von Miller returning to the team, the competition to claim the starting middle linebacker job, the signing of offensive tackle Germain Ifedi, and more!
