Buffalo Bills general manager has pulled off plenty of moves at the NFL trade deadline in the past. We will see if he makes another move today.<\/p>\n
Here we will collect all the Bills-related rumors and information as we approach the 4 p.m. Eastern deadline and beyond. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n
Buffalo Bills ultimately make no trades at the deadline<\/p>\n
The Buffalo Bills completed zero trades at the 2025 NFL trade deadline. I\u2019m a bit surprised, as Beane has always been willing to add players at this time of year, but the value didn\u2019t work out this year.<\/p>\n
Buffalo Bills reached out to Jets for trade options at deadline<\/p>\n
According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the other teams in the AFC East reached out to the New York Jets leading up to the NFL trade deadline but were rebuffed. The Jets were \u201creluctant to trade with division rivals\u201d.<\/p>\n
Buffalo Bills targeting Von Miller at trade deadline, per report<\/p>\n
Former Buffalo Bills defensive end Von Miller is apparently a player the Bills would like to bring back according to a report from Tim Graham of The Athletic<\/a>. Miller\u2019s base salary is very low, and the Bills would need to pay him just over $1 million. With the injury to Jayden Daniels, the Commanders could be reloading at the deadline for the future.<\/p>\n Deebo Samuel a late trade deadline target for Bills, per report<\/p>\n The Buffalo Bills could be making a play for a receiver after all. According to Tim Graham of The Athletic<\/a>, the Bills are in the market for the 29-year-old former 49ers receiver after the injury to Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels. Samuel\u2019s salary is roughly $100,000 for each week of the season remaining, so the Bills have the cap space for the move.<\/p>\n The Commanders added Treylon Burks to their 53-man roster today after originally signing him to the practice squad.<\/p>\n Buffalo Bills start trade deadline day with $3 million in cap space<\/p>\n The Buffalo Bills have some space to play with at the NFL trade deadline after restructuring Taron Johnson. With about $3 million, they can add one player outright and maybe two if they are low enough on the base salary scale.<\/p>\n AS WGR\u2019s Sal Capaccio said on Tuesday morning, the biggest barrier to the Bills making a move is the cap<\/a>.<\/p>\n Buffalo Bills NFL trade deadline targets: Defensive tackle, wide receiver<\/p>\n As we all know, the Buffalo Bills could use some help in a few spots on the roster. In his trade deadline preview, Sports Illustrated\u2019s Albert Breer had this to say<\/a>:<\/p>\n As the Chiefs\u2019 outlook has been impacted by a recent injury, the Bills\u2019 approach has been, too, with Ed Oliver down until the playoffs. Buffalo\u2019s taking a hard look at what\u2019s out there at defensive tackle, and has also kicked the tires on its options at receiver.<\/p>\n Bills deadline target Rashid Shaheed traded to Seahawks<\/p>\n New Orleans Saints receiver Rashid Shaheed was widely considered a big target for the Buffalo Bills at the trade deadline. Instead, he was sipped to the Seattle Seahawks. Buffalo still has more options at wide receiver, but now two have been traded today.<\/p>\n It was a fourth-round pick and a fifth-round pick for Shaheed.<\/p>\n Buffalo Bills inquired about Jakobi Meyers before his trade to Jaguars<\/p>\n The Buffalo Bills called the Las Vegas Raiders about wide receiver Jakobi Meyers according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic<\/a>. The Pittsburgh Steelers did, as well, but ultimately he was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a combo of fourth-round and sixth-round picks. Because Buffalo is likely to pick after the Jaguars, the Bills would have had to give up higher selections in all likelihood.<\/p>\n Quinnen Williams traded to Dallas Cowboys, not Buffalo Bills<\/p>\n The Buffalo Bills were on the lookout today for a new defensive tackle. While New York jets DT Quinnen Williams was at the top of a lot of people\u2019s lists, it was always unlikely the Jets would trade him inside the division. The compensation is for a 2026 second-round pick and a 2027 first-round pick and it appears the Jets are ripping it down to the studs. Former Cowboys first-rounder Mazi Smith is heading to the Jets as part of the deal.<\/p>\n How can the Bills open up cap space at the trade deadline?<\/p>\n If they trade away a player as part of the deal, that obviously would add more cap space for them.<\/p>\n There are more levers the Bills could pull to add space in 2025, but they would all be prohibitive for 2026 plans. Restructuring Dawson Knox or Curtis Samuel would likely mean that player is on the team in 2026 at a hefty price. Moving Matt Milano or DaQuan Jones money into the future would just have linger impacts on Buffalo\u2019s cap despite their expiring contracts. An extension for Connor McGovern or David Edwards at this point could open up space with a 2026 guaranteed roster bonus instead of a signing bonus.<\/p>\n One move that would also work is releasing KR Brandon Codrington. Because he is not a vested veteran, his contract is not guaranteed. They\u2019d save roughly $508k of cap space and money in the process.<\/p>\n Buffalo Bills create cap space with Taron Johnson restructure<\/p>\n On Monday, the Bills restructured cornerback Taron Johnson<\/a> to move $1.75 million in cap space to future years. It doesn\u2019t seem like much but it is more than the enough to add one player to the roster in a trade if that player is on a rookie contract or making the NFL minimum \u2014 and maybe two.<\/p>\n Wide receiver trade targets for the Buffalo Bills<\/p>\n John Metchie was traded from the Philadelphia Eagles to the New York Jets in late October, but the receiver position has been very closed so far. Lots of rumoroed players are in the mix, though.<\/p>\n The two most likely players to me are Rashid Shaheed and Chris Olave of the New Orleans Saints. They are rebuilding in Louisiana and could clear some future cap off their books with the move of Olave. Both could fit in with the Bills current group of receivers and provide something offensive coordinator Joe Brady does not have right now. UPDATE: Shaheed was traded to the Seahawks on Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n A name I haven\u2019t heard much is Adonai Mitchell of the Indianapolis Colts. Yeah, the Colts are more likely to be buyers right now, but Mitchell is buried on their depth chart and the former second-round pick has some value. He has played just 21% of Indy\u2019s snaps in 2025 and could offer a deep threat to the Bills. UPDATE: AD Mitchell was traded to the New York Jets on Tuesday as part of the Sauce Gardner compensation.<\/p>\n Jalin Hyatt of the New York Giants has asked for a fresh start. We know the history of Giants GM Joe Schoen being in Buffalo and New York should be sellers. He was a Bills pre-draft visitor in 2023.<\/p>\n The Bills would love to have A.J. Brown on their team, but I don\u2019t see the Philadelphia Eagles having a $40 million dead cap number for a Brown in 2026 unless they get a king\u2019s ransom. I\u2019d same the same thing about the Miami Dolphins and Jaylen Waddle. The Dolphins listened for offers on Waddle but wanted more than a first-round pick.<\/p>\n Calvin Ridley of the Tennessee Titans is not an option unless the Titans pay him $10 million to go away and free up the cap space for Buffalo to make the move.<\/p>\n I do not think Brian Thomas Jr. is a realistic option for the 5-3 Jaguars to trade. He\u2019s played more snaps for Jacksonville than any receiver and they are in the thick of the playoff race. But his salary number is very workable for Buffalo.<\/p>\n I am not a fan of the Jakobi Meyers future contract situation and trading for the Raiders receiver is a risk because of that. UPDATE: Meyers was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars.<\/p>\n Defensive tackle trade targets for the Buffalo Bills<\/p>\n The Bills just lost Michael Hoecht for the season and Ed Oliver for at least the vast majority of the season due to injuries. DaQuan Jones is old and dealing with another long-term injury. T.J. Sanders is on injured reserve and DeWayne Carter is done for the year. Buffalo is out of practice squad callups for Zion Logue. They really should add a DT at the deadline and one that could be asked to play a lot of reps.<\/p>\n \u201cThey believe there\u2019s a good chance [Oliver] returns, but they are in the trade market, looking for defensive line help to fill the void during this time when they do not have Oliver. Not a ton of big names out there, we will see what the Bills end up coming up with,\u201d said NFL Network\u2019s Ian Rapoport on Sunday<\/a>.<\/p>\n
