Bills

• Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports continues to hear that the Bills could hire new vice presidents and/or personnel figures with ties to HC Sean McDermott.
• According to La Canfora, there are already “rumblings” that McDermott and Bills GM Doug Whaley working together likely will not last.
• La Canfora mentions that Panthers director of players personnel Don Gregory could end up in Buffalo after the draft in some capacity.

Cardinals

Despite seeing DE Calais Campbell, S Tony Jefferson, S D.J. Swearinger, CB Marcus Cooper and ILB Kevin Minter depart through free agency, Cardinals GM Steve Keim sees that as an encouraging sign of the team’s personnel department.

“You can see we’ve obviously done a good job of identifying players,” Keim said, via Kent Somers of AZCentral. “When guys like Marcus Cooper get five-plus million dollars (from the Bears) or D.J. Swearinger are getting big contracts, these are guys we took off the street that nobody else wanted. Our personnel department does a fantastic job and our coaches do a good job of developing these guys and getting them ready.”

Raiders

• Jason Cole of B/R reports that Oakland mayor Libby Shaaf reached out to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Wednesday with hopes of continuing the discussion about keeping the Raiders in Oakland. However, no significant progress has been made.

Seahawks

• According to Ian Rapoport, free agent LB Gerald Hodges had a “good visit” with the Seahawks but no deal has been finalized.
