Bills Writer Urges Team To Trade $16 Million Star Before Season

This past week, the Buffalo Bills started their 2025 training camp, which means it’s all eyes on the upcoming season.

Buffalo is one of the heavy favorites to win the Super Bowl at the season’s end, but to do it, they are going to have to get past the Kansas City Chiefs.

Four of the last five postseasons, the Chiefs have eliminated the Bills, which has been a nightmare hanging over many people’s heads in Orchard Park.

If Buffalo can’t get past Kansas City again this upcoming winter, then several changes could be coming to the team.

Buffalo Could Make Changes In 2026

The first move would be parting ways with the head coach Sean McDermott. Even though McDermott has been one of the best coaches in the NFL since he took over in Buffalo almost a decade ago, moving on from him after another postseason loss might be the only answer.

Buffalo can’t think of running back the same coaching staff and roster next season if the same result keeps happening.

The NFL is a quarterback/coach league, and there’s no way the Bills will move on from quarterback Josh Allen so that McDermott would be the odd man out here.

It’s still a long time away before the Bills will have to make any profound changes for next year, but they can focus on making moves that can help them this season.

Bills Urged To Trade Defensive Tackle

Even though the NFL regular season is right around the corner, there are still roster moves the Bills could make, and Brandon Ray from Fansided thinks it would make perfect sense for the Bills to trade DaQuan Jones before the season.

“Just like Locker said, the Bills went heavy with adding young defensive talent with T.J. Sanders and Deone Walker in the draft while also signing Larry Ogunjobi in free agency. Not to mention, the Bills also have Ed Oliver and DeWayne Carter. Jones is on an expiring contract and the Bills can save $7.75 million if they trade Jones, per overthecap.com,” Ray wrote. “Unless the Bills feel that both Sanders and Walker need time to develop, why wouldn’t they consider moving on from Jones? They would be saving some money and that gives the rookies some confidence for both short-term and for the long-term. While I believe that Jones will be on the final roster, it logistically makes sense to move on from him prior to Week 1.”

Jones is entering his fourth season with the Bills and his 12th year overall, having spent the first eight seasons with the Tennessee Titans and the Carolina Panthers.

The 33-year-old defensive tackle is on a two-year, $16 million contract, and trading him away wouldn’t be a bad option if they can get some draft capital or another player that can help.

Last year, the Bills traded for Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper at the trade deadline, giving up a third-round pick. If Jones can bring back some draft capital that can be flipped for a player at the trade deadline, then that would be a smart move for Buffalo.
