ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Sammy Watkins has coach Rex Ryan’s back.
The Bills receiver strongly voiced his support for Ryan by saying he has no interest in seeing the team change coaches for the second time in Watkins’ three years in Buffalo.
Should the team hit the reset button, Watkins said it would put the Bills in a similar position to their next opponent, the winless Cleveland Browns (0-13).
Rather than rebuild through youth as Watkins said the Browns are currently doing, he would rather Buffalo move forward with the current group of coaches and players.
Watkins said it’s his intention to stay in Buffalo "forever," and his sole objective is for Buffalo to win its final three games and convince management to retain Ryan.
Watkins spoke Wednesday at a time when Ryan’s future is in question with Buffalo (6-7) in jeopardy of extending the NFL’s longest active playoff drought to 17 seasons.
