After their Sunday victory, which brought their record to 7-2, the Buffalo Bills chose to keep their current roster intact during Tuesday’s trade deadline. While they did bring in two additional defensive tackles, no major trades were made. However, the Bills had previously made a significant move weeks earlier by acquiring Pro Bowl receiver Amari Cooper from the Cleveland Browns. At that time, general manager Brandon Beane indicated that the team would continue to explore potential deals. Ultimately, no further significant moves occurred.
Star quarterback Josh Allen shared his thoughts on the lack of major trades, saying, “I know [Beane] trusts the guys in this room. We’ve got a lot of love and a lot of faith in each other in this building, and ultimately that’s the only thing that matters.”
Despite some fans feeling let down by the team’s lack of additional moves, the Bills are in a strong position, holding a four-game lead in the AFC East and ranking as the AFC’s No. 2 seed with nine weeks left in the regular season. The addition of Cooper has boosted the offense, which has now scored over 30 points in three consecutive games, with Allen passing for at least two touchdowns and 200 yards in each contest.
Buffalo has been dealing with injuries to key defensive starters but remains confident that they will recover in time to contribute to a potential playoff run in January.
