4 key takeaways from Bills coach, GM after final cuts

Here are the key takeaways from Bills coach Joe Brady and president/GM Brandon Beane after the final cuts:

1. Youth and depth at cornerback isn't a concern: The Bills are opting for three boundary corners, Christian Benford, Max Hairston, and Davison Igbinosun, for now. Beane expressed confidence in their abilities and plans to monitor their health for potential game-day substitutions. Dee Alford, who has experience pushing outside, will also be considered if needed.

2. Inside linebacker position could be a time share: Bernard is one starter, but Dorian Williams and Kaleb Elarms-Orr are vying for the other starting position. It appears they will share the role based on matchups. Elarms-Orr's dedication to the game and serious attitude have impressed Beane, making him a strong contender.

3. Greg Dortch could become a useful addition: Beane signed Dortch to the practice squad, seeing potential in his skills as a wide receiver/punt returner. He mentioned there are other options currently on the roster, but Dortch's versatility could make him a valuable asset, particularly in punt return, an area of need for the team.

4. Bringing Shaq Thompson back was the easy decision: Thompson, a key member of Buffalo's defense last season, is returning to the team after spending his first ten NFL seasons with the Panthers. Beane praised Thompson's leadership, intelligence, and presence, stating that he would fit right in with the current roster.
