Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott made an appearance at the 2025 NFL owners meetings in Florida.
While there, McDermott did much more than just pose for the league's annual head coaches photo... he had his influence on those talks and chatted with the media on all-things Bills.
With that, here are five takeaways from McDermott's interview during the 2025 NFL owners meetings:

McDermott's stance on the "tush push" play made popular by the Philadelphia Eagles remains the same. McDermott is not in favor of it, and despite there being no evidence of there being health concerns connected to it... that's what McDermott is hanging onto. The Bills coach thinks the play needs to be eliminated from the game because of health concerns for players.
For now, the NFL has decided to table the discussion on it until the next owners meetings in May.

Ogunjobi and Hoecht will both miss the first six games of the season due to suspension. However, on Ogunjobi specifically, McDermott noted he will spell Ed Oliver at the three-tech position.
Finally, the Bills coach said Bosa's injury concerns did not scare Buffalo away from signing him this offseason. McDermott added a change of scenery might help Bosa, too. ...
