The Bills have fired Tom Modrak as their chief scout. Buffalo general manager Buddy Nix said Modrak was "relieved of his duties" in a move that comes as part of the team's plan to reorganize its personnel department. "We have begun that process and made a decision to head in a different direction," Nix said in a statement released by the team. "We thank Tom for his 10 years of dedication to our organization and wish him the best in his future endeavors." Modrak held the title of vice president of college scouting, and had been with the Bills since 2001.
