Bills GM Brandon Beane explains why Buffalo made no trades at NFL deadline

To the surprise of many, the NFL trade deadline came and went without the Buffalo Bills making a trade. NFL insider Dianna Russini reported that Buffalo was interested in Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers and New Orleans Saints receiver Chris Olave.

Obviously, neither ended up in a Bills uniform. Meyers was dealt to the Jacksonville Jaguars and Olave stayed put in New Orleans while his teammate, Rashid Shaheed, was dealt to the Seattle Seahawks.

Buffalo general manager Brandon Beane spoke to the media, and expressed the same frustration that Bills fans have over a deal not getting done to bring a new player to the Bills.

"I went home mad as any other fan," Beane said via Katherine Fitzgerald. "I wanted to do things, I always want to make this team better."

Beane added that "it takes two" in terms of teams needing to come together to make a trade, and that he can't force a team to trade him a player. The Bills GM also noted that he has confidence in the group the Bills have.

"I also believe in our roster too. ... I do believe we can win a championship with this roster."

Buffalo has been to two AFC Championship Games over the last five years, falling both times to the Kansas City Chiefs.
