Bills Urged to Explore Defensive Trades

Buffalo’s high-powered offense has helped it to a 4-1 start, but its struggling defense—particularly the secondary and linebacker coverage—has prompted speculation about trade-deadline upgrades. One proposal would bring Chargers cornerback Donte Jackson to Buffalo for a conditional fifth-round pick, though his hamstring injury could affect the timing of any deal. Another suggests a low-cost reunion with Commanders cornerback Rasul Douglas, potentially for a sixth-round pick, to add veteran depth. A separate trade concept points to Jaguars linebacker Ventrell Miller as a possible coverage-focused addition, although the proposed deal’s full terms are not provided.
