The Buffalo Bills handed out new extensions to their head coach Sean McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane. According to the team’s announcement, both McDermott and Beane are now under contract with the franchise through 2027.

McDermott and Beane were hired together in 2017 and have since established the Bills as one of the best teams in the NFL. During their time at the helm, the Bills made the playoffs in five out of six seasons and have one AFC Championship appearance. Prior to that, the Bills haven’t been to the postseason in 17 years.

Beane is credited for building a strong roster with great draft picks and successful signings on the trade and free agent market. He drafted franchise quarterback Josh Allen and All-Pro corner Tre’Davious White while acquiring star wideout Stefon Diggs in a trade with the Minnesota Vikings.

McDermott, on the other hand, did a great job with the roster Beane put at his disposal. Under him, the Bills saw only one season with a losing record while getting 10 or more wins in each of the past four campaigns. They also have three straight AFC East division titles.

 The Buffalo Bills ownership now hopes the team can build on the past success and return to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1993.
