Bills general manager Brandon Beane made it sound like the salary cap was part of the reason the team traded Diggs this offseason. While the Bills had money issues before free agency, there had been rumblings of discontent between Diggs and the team.
McDermott was asked what he’s liked about the “synergy” from so many new faces.
“I’ve loved it,” McDermott replied.” Everyone’s focused, it seems. Although it is spring and sometimes guys have things going on outside of football this time of year, you respect that. But when they’ve been here they’ve been focused and working well together and really more of an unselfish approach I would say.”
Unselfish felt like an intentional word choice and one that could be a theme this version of the Bills harps on. The roster lost some star power when the Bills traded Diggs, but maybe that unselfish approach will help the Bills get more out of the offense as a whole. They at least have to be glad the focus is elsewhere during this minicamp.
