Bills Trade Rumors: BUF 'Expected' to Receive Calls from Teams Seeking DL Additions

The Buffalo Bills are reportedly expected to receive calls from teams interested in adding defensive line depth ahead of the Nov. 2 trade deadline.

Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reported one of Buffalo's veteran edge-rushers could be on the trade block, though it does not appear any substantive talks have taken place.

Jerry Hughes, Mario Addison and Efe Obada are among the names who could find themselves in rumors. Hughes seems like the least likely of the three to move given the fact that he remains an integral part of the Bills defensive line rotation—even if his production isn't up to his prime levels.

Addison is making $4.1 million for the 2021 season and has only one sack through the first five games. The 34-year-old might be the likeliest name to move, though teams could balk at his price tag.

Buffalo has young players in Greg Rousseau, A.J. Epenesa and Boogie Basham, who make the veterans more expendable. 

That said, having a consistent rotation of fresh edge-rushers is a valuable commodity. The 4-1 Bills view themselves as Super Bowl contenders, and it would be surprising to see them make any move that hurts them for 2021.

Teams will undoubtedly be interested in taking some of that depth off the Bills' hands, but expect the price to be high.
