The NFL trade deadline is approaching. With all transactions closing at 4 PM on November 4th, the always conservative Buffalo Bills need to shake things up in a big way. After back to back losses, the Bills need to be buyers if they want to capitalize on the peak years of the best player in football’s career.
So far this season, the team’s biggest weakness has been it’s run defense. Last night on Monday Night Football, Bijan Robinson posted 238 total yards while back up running back, Tyler Allgeier, carved the defense on a 21 yard score.
“The Bills‘ offense has stumbled the past few weeks and could use a playmaker, but the bigger need remains on a sieve-like defense. Buffalo can’t stop the run,” writes NFL.com’s Kevin Patra. “Monday’s loss wasn’t a one-off; the Bills are allowing a ghastly 5.8 yards per carry. The front gets blown off the ball, the linebackers miss tackles and safeties struggle to fill gaps. If Sean McDermott doesn’t solve the issue, Buffalo won’t make it to February.”
This trade pitch lands the Bills a future first ballot Hall of Famer from the drowning New Orleans Saints.
Bills receive: Defensive End Cameron Jordan
Saints receive: 2025 5th Round Pick
Insider Reports Cameron Jordan Is Available
The no doubt Hall of Famer received praise as he chose to stick with the team that drafted him a decade ago through the rebuild. Well, a month in a half into the season and the Saints are now worse off than when it started. They sit in last place in the entire NFC with any and all post season aspirations all but gone.
This is why ESPN’s lead insider, Adam Schefter, believes Cameron Jordan will be up for sale as this month comes to an end.
Additionally, the Saints are expected to sell Alvin Kamara and wide receiver Chris Olave in a full blown fire sale.
Now, if I were crazy I would propose perhaps sending over an even higher draft pick and securing both of these guys. But for now, we will focus on Jordan.
Jordan Is Still Playing High Quality Football
Don’t let his age fool you, at 36-years-old Jordan is still getting after the quarterback.
“Jordan has 2.5 sacks so far this season with 15 tackles and four tackles for loss,” writes The Sporting News’ Matt Sullivan. “Impressively, Jordan is playing 72 percent of the snaps on defense, an impressive feat for a player his age and with his mileage.”
Only one player in the league has more career sacks than he, and that is former Buffalo Bill Von Miller.
However, Jordan’s call sign always has and always will be stopping the run. He is still doing that at a high level as well.
The Bills will be competing with a handful of suitors, namely the Lions and Buccaneers, but they would be remise not to make a phone call.
