Bills consider trades for cornerback and safety to bolster defense

The Buffalo Bills are exploring potential trades for a cornerback and safety ahead of the 2026 NFL trade deadline. The team's defense has struggled this season, allowing an average of 372.3 yards and 26.8 points per game. Dan Graziano from ESPN suggests that upgrading the secondary is crucial as the Bills adapt to new defensive coordinator Jim Leonard's scheme. While the front seven shows promise, the secondary remains a concern, with players like Christian Benford currently dealing with injuries. Improvement in this area could enhance the Bills' playoff prospects later in the season.
