Bills miss out on Chargers cornerback Donte Jackson before trade deadline

Summary

The Buffalo Bills will not be acquiring cornerback Donte Jackson from the Los Angeles Chargers, who are not trading any players despite their 0-7 record. Jackson had been a target due to his turnover ability and expiring contract, but the Chargers aim to retain him. This decision also diminishes the Bills' options as they were also considered potential suitors for linebacker Khalil Mack. With the NFL trade deadline approaching, the Bills may shift focus to other defensive targets, including safety Jessie Bates III of the Falcons.
