Bills owner Terry Pegula disputed GM Brandon Beane’s role in drafting Keon Coleman, sparking internal tension amid the player’s underperformance.

Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula sparked controversy by claiming the coaching staff, not GM Brandon Beane, pushed for drafting wide receiver Keon Coleman, despite Beane's public statements and video evidence showing his strong personal interest in Coleman. Pegula's remarks, made during a post-season press conference, were seen as downplaying Beane’s role and criticizing Coleman’s performance, raising concerns about team unity and leadership. Coleman, selected 33rd overall in 2024, underperformed and was frequently benched, contributing to scrutiny of the draft pick. The conflicting narratives have fueled speculation about Coleman’s future with the team as the Bills undergo a transitional period.
