Report: Bills are looking to trade for a defensive back
An insider narrows down what Bills are looking for at trade deadline
The Buffalo Bills are reportedly seeking to acquire another defensive back at the NFL trade deadline, according to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer. This comes as a surprise, given that the team has not been mentioned in any trade-deadline speculation this season, unlike previous years when they were frequently discussed. Breer tweeted last October that the Bills were looking for "another piece or two on defense," but provided little detail.
However, Breer has since clarified that the Bills are still exploring options to add a defensive player, with a particular focus on cornerbacks and safeties. The team has recently bolstered their cornerback corps with the signings of Tre’Davious White and Kader Kohou, and Te’Cory Couch has been impressive in the slot. Jordan Hancock is nearing a return from injury at safety, and Damar Hamlin has been performing well.
Geno Stone has also been a standout performer, leading the team in tackles. Despite these contributions, the Bills are reportedly interested in bolstering their defensive backfield further before the deadline.
