AFC Notes: Bills, Broncos, Chargers

Bills

When asked if the Bills would consider high-profile free-agent signings this offseason similarly to the Rams last year, GM Brandon Beane responded that they must use good judgment in transactions but will always consider the โ€œright opportunityโ€ for their team. 

โ€œWe donโ€™t just try and do something thatโ€™s short-sighted that can hurt us down the road,โ€ Beane said, via Matt Parrino of NYUp.com. โ€œBut yes, if thereโ€™s a right opportunity to add a good player and we can fit it in our cap and it makes sense, [weโ€™d do it].โ€

Beane added that they must โ€œbe responsibleโ€ with contracts given Josh Allenโ€˜s cap figure increases to $39.77 million in 2023. 

โ€œWe have to be responsible here paying Josh Allen what weโ€™re paying him. We can get really top-heavy fast if weโ€™re not careful,โ€ Beane said.

Beane reiterated that they must be cognizant of future years when dealing with contracts this offseason. 

โ€œAll of a sudden youโ€™re going into next year going, I donโ€™t know if we have a chance this year because of the moves we made a year ago,โ€ Beane said. โ€œSo I gotta keep an eye on this year but I also gotta keep an eye on the next two or three years and what that decision would mean if we were to give away a first, second, or third-round pick for a player whoโ€™s a proven player in the league.โ€

Broncos

Broncos RB Melvin Gordon thinks the team should do whatever it has to in order to get Aaron Rodgers from the Packers. 

โ€œWith that type of guy, youโ€™ve got to do whatever to get him,โ€ Gordon told Colin Cowherd. โ€œIt would change a lot of things over there in Denver.โ€

  • Matt Lombardo says people inside the NFL have suggested the Steelers, Buccaneers, and Broncos may be interested in acquiring 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo this offseason.

Chargers

  • Field Yates reports that the Chargers have hired former Saints OL coach Brendan Nugent to the same role. 
  • Los Angeles has also hired Chris Gould, the brother of 49ers K Robbie Gould, as assistant special teams coach and Mike Hiestand as an offensive assistant.
