NFL Analyst Gushes About The Buffalo Bills’ New Receiver

The Buffalo Bills agreed to terms with Curtis Samuel in free agency this year and at least one analyst can't say enough about the move.

He was beyond thrilled about it.

One of the biggest draws was Samuel's last season with Joe Brady

Obviously he was pumped about the idea of Curtis Samuel coming to Buffalo and playing with Josh Allen, but he was also excited about the fact that he would be reunited with current Bills Offensive Coordinator Joe Brady, a guy he played for when Brady was in Carolina.

There's no question this Bills team is going to look a lot different from the ones we've seen for the past couple of years.  But maybe that's what they need (as everyone has been saying) to "get over the hump."
