10 Buffalo Bills 2025 NFL Trade Deadline Targets: Why the GM Must Get Aggressive in a Flawed AFC

A Wide-Open AFC — And a Moment for Buffalo to Be Bold

The AFC in 2025 is as unpredictable as ever. No clear powerhouse has emerged, leaving the door open for the Buffalo Bills to make a statement.
At 4-2, Buffalo has shown flashes of greatness — but also clear weaknesses. With the November 4th trade deadline approaching, GM Brandon Beane may need to act fast to keep the Bills in Super Bowl contention.

Here are 10 potential trade targets for Buffalo:

1. Jakobi Meyers (Raiders) – WR
After requesting a trade earlier this season, Meyers was benched by the Raiders. A versatile receiver who can line up inside or out, he’s also an elite blocker. He’s surpassed 800 receiving yards every season since 2021.

2. Calvin Ridley (Titans)
Tennessee’s reset could make Ridley available. The deep-threat receiver is averaging 18.1 yards per catch — third-best in the NFL — and could immediately revive Buffalo’s vertical passing game.

3. Rashid Shaheed (Saints)
A burner with 4.38 speed, Shaheed offers downfield separation and special teams excellence. He earned All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors in 2023 for his return skills.

4. Jeffery Simmons (Titans) – DT
An ambitious move, but Simmons would instantly fix Buffalo’s interior defense. Injuries to DaQuan Jones and rookie T.J. Sanders have exposed the line’s depth, and pairing Simmons with Ed Oliver could be game-changing.

5. Logan Wilson (Bengals) – LB
Allen’s former Wyoming teammate was surprisingly demoted but remains a top-tier tackler and leader. His physical play and locker-room presence fit Buffalo’s culture perfectly.

6. Cam Taylor-Britt (Bengals) – CB
Once a promising starter, Taylor-Britt has been benched due to inconsistency. His tackling needs work, but his athletic upside could make him a valuable addition.

7. Riq Woolen (Seahawks)
Despite a sophomore slump, Woolen’s size-speed combo is elite. If Buffalo is willing to gamble on potential, this could be a smart low-cost, high-reward move.

8. Jason Pinnock (49ers) – S
A buried starter in San Francisco, Pinnock could replace the struggling Taylor Rapp. His instincts and tackling would stabilize Buffalo’s shaky secondary.

9. Jeremy Chinn (Raiders)
A versatile veteran who’s recorded 100+ tackles in three of five seasons, Chinn would bring toughness and range to Buffalo’s defense.

10. Ashtyn Davis (Dolphins)
In-division trades are rare, but Miami’s struggles make this possible. Davis, on a one-year deal, has elite recovery speed and athleticism.

Bottom line:
With the AFC up for grabs, Buffalo can’t afford to stay passive. The right move — or two — could transform this team from contender to favorite.
