Apparently, when Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone decided to opt-out of his contract on Wednesday, he didn't tell any of his players beforehand.
After the news became official, Bills players took to Twitter and sounded as surprised as anyone.
Let's start with tight end Chris Gragg, who was the first player to react.
Well dang.....

Bills tight ends are clearly quick tweeters because the next reaction also came from a tight end.
Wow!

'Dang' and 'Wow' are fun, but let's get to the player who are actually kind of mad, like safety Aaron Williams.
Lost all respect!! Completely pissed off, but not gonna let it ruin my New Years #Deuces #CantWait

Offensive lineman Eric Wood was also surprised.
Wow... That caught me off guard for sure

'Wow' seemed to be the popular reaction.
Wow. That's crazy

C.J. Spiller seems a little mad that no one told him about this beforehand.
How quickly things can change just had a team meeting Monday and wasn't given a heads up, but guess that's how this business works

Then we have wide receiver Chris Hogan.
New Years got a little interesting with that news.......

Then we have EJ Manuel and Kraig Urbik, who tweeted 'Happy New Year.' Because of the timing of the tweets, I'm guessing it was done ironically.
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!!

Or not.

Either way this one isn't ironic: Happy New Year everyone!
