YoloinOhio Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Quote A surplus of edge rushers in Buffalo? The Bills are expected to get calls on their deep defensive line. The team has used draft capital on promising edge players Greg Rousseau, AJ Epenesa and Boogie Basham in recent years, which could make their veterans attractive at the deadline. Jerry Hughes is an interesting case because of his salary ($6.1 million), age (33) and production (0.5 sacks). Those aren't very enticing numbers. But he has been solid, and Buffalo plays him a lot (54 snaps in the Week 5 win over Kansas City). Perhaps the Bills hold on to the experienced rusher for the late-season stretch. Mario Addison, meanwhile, is owed $4.075 million this year. He has one sack and two quarterback hits through the season's first month. Efe Obada is a cheaper rotational guy at $1 million. Quote Several teams have actively monitored the cornerback market in recent months, including the Buffalo Bills, Seattle Seahawks, New York Jets, Houston Texans and New York Giants. The position has only grown in importance because of injuries across the league. Salaries could be a hang-up for Denver, with Fuller at $9 million and Callahan, primarily a slot corner, at $6.5 million. Both players will be free agents in 2022. https://www.espn.com/nfl/insider/story/_/id/32373411/nfl-trade-deadline-early-buzz-on-move-latest-chandler-jones-marlon-mack-marcus-maye-others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaCrispy Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Hoping we don’t give up any of our DL...an injury here or there and we could be short handed in no time...screw saving money! we need all hands on deck for a championship run! 👍 11 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnNord Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I would not mess with our defensive line. Bills are a legit Super Bowl contender and that 6th round round draft pick in 2022 won’t mean anything if it means losing a productive player at DE this year. 4 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royale with Cheese Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) I would package Ed Oliver and AJ Epenesa a high round pick for Aaron Donald. It'll never happen but just letting you guys know that I would do it. Those who disagree are crazy!

I get that he’s been inactive but he also hasn’t played much and given his position flexibility, speed, and length, I see him as a situational player.

I think Zimmer easily fills in Oliver's shoes. I think Boogie and Rosseau are good young ends. AJ is a young talent but I'm willing to give that up at a deep position to separate us even more with an elite end like Jones.

Obada played a few snaps vs Pitts and a whole bunch vs KC. I agree, I would only trade one, preferably Obada if it’s a DE, for a good corner or a good guard Edited October 13, 2021 by NewEra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does not spell Chandler Jones to me. 🤷♀️ . Edited October 13, 2021 by Augie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are at the point now that we are building through the draft. This D line has chemistry. Players are developing. I trust Beane and McDermott. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be OK with either Phillips, Addison, Zimmer or Obada being traded. Most likely thing would be for picks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
