The Buffalo Bills made two moves on Monday. One was re-signing a player and the other was adding a new member to Sean McDermott’s coaching staff.
Are you prepared to read about some exciting Buffalo Bills news?
Well you shouldn’t be. But don’t leave yet!
There isn’t too much going on right now but the team did hand out some new contracts.
The first was given to, let me check my notes here, the long snapper!

Reid Ferguson is back and that means we can all exhale. In all seriousness, it is nice to find a reliable long snapper and retain him. It helps maintain consistency on special teams and is much better than throwing inexperienced people out there.
The second move of the day was on the coaching staff as the Bills have added a new assistant.
According to Mike Rodak:
Heffernan has been the associate head coach and offensive line coach at Eastern Kentucky. He worked as an assistant for the Lions in 2013-15 alongside Bobby Johnson, whom the Bills hired as offensive line coach.

Neither of these moves will lead to much fanfare, but it is good to know the daily happenings of the team as opposed to tuning in to the first game and being confused at the names and faces that may be new.
This also helps those who like to complain about the coaching staff on Twitter. Hopefully the new group leading the offensive line, and hopefully some new linemen, will help the unit improve in 2019.
So there you have it. Not exactly big moves, but we won’t be dealing with really big news until free agency begins in March. That is when the real madness begins.
For now all we can do is speculate on what will go down. Hopefully we have plenty to talk about when it comes to the Bills making major moves.
