When a star is “sacrificed” to save the system — is it strategy, or a sign of internal cracks in Buffalo?

4 views

A pre-deadline trade prediction has sparked buzz around Buffalo, suggesting the Bills could send tight end Dawson Knox to the Carolina Panthers in exchange for cornerback Mike Jackson to strengthen their struggling secondary.

Week 5’s loss to the Patriots exposed major defensive issues, as Stefon Diggs torched the Bills’ secondary with 10 catches for 146 yards. It was a clear wake-up call for a team with Super Bowl aspirations.

According to Josh Weil of Pro Football Network, the move would benefit both sides. Jackson is currently ranked as the 11th-best cornerback in the NFL by PFN’s CBi grading system, earning an impressive 89.1 (B+).

Meanwhile, with Dalton Kincaid emerging as a breakout star and rookie Jackson Hawes proving reliable as a TE2, Buffalo could afford to part ways with Knox — even though he’s been a trusted target for Josh Allen.

On the other hand, Jackson has become a steady defensive force for the Panthers, recording 76 tackles and two interceptions last season, and adding 19 tackles and one pick through five games this year.

If this trade materializes, it could reshape Buffalo’s defense and demonstrate the team’s commitment to patching up critical weaknesses before the playoff push.

“Stop the Hype!” – Jets Fans Furious After Cowboys Flex Championship Form
Cowboys Silence the Doubters With “Instant Grits” Defense in 37–22 Win Over Jets 💪⭐ On Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys (2-2-1, NFC East) — led by quarterback Dak Prescott — rolled into MetLife Stadium and handled business, defeating Justin Fields and the New York Jets (0-5, AFC East) by a score of 37–22. After the win, cornerback Trevon Diggs credited Dallas’ relentless defensive pressure for being the difference-maker. “When we get pressure like that, we can call whatever we want,” Diggs said. “We could call prevent defense and still win.” Diggs noted that the Cowboys leaned heavily on man coverage, forcing Fields and the Jets offense into constant discomfort. “It worked,” he said. “We got out of tough spots, and the D-line brought instant heat. We call that Instant Grits. You know those instant grits you just throw in the microwave? You don’t want the slow-cooked kind — takes too long. Sunday, we had Instant Grits.” Jets Fans React to Dallas’ “Championship-Level” Performance 🔥 Jets fans didn’t hold back after watching their team get picked apart by Dallas. Some blamed the offense for being an easy target: “That defense is the worst in the league… don’t be fooled, Cowboys fans. You’ll need to score 40 every week to win.” “You’re celebrating mid results against the worst offense in football. Receivers wide open and Fields still couldn’t find them.” One fan, clearly Southern, even took offense at Diggs’ culinary metaphor: “No self-respecting Southerner eats instant grits. I’m a proud traditional grits guy!” But plenty of fans praised Diggs for his leadership on the defensive side: “Love seeing that defense in sync, Trevon! Your work is paying off!”“That’s my DB1 right there.” Diggs finished the game with one solo tackle and three assists. Defense Answers the Critics 👀 Dallas’ defense looked dominant, silencing critics who questioned its consistency. The pass rush — fueled by that “Instant Grits” energy — set the tone early and gave the secondary plenty of chances to shine. Running back Javonte Williams also turned in a monster performance with 135 rushing yards, crediting the coaching staff for sticking with him: “It feels great that they trust me,” Williams said. “Even when things start slow, you’ve got to stay patient — it’ll pay off later in the season. The other backs push me every day, and that’s why I play the way I do.” Rookie safety Juanyeh Thomas made his first career start — lining up across from his younger brother, Jets rookie Azareye’h Thomas. Their mom was seen in tears after the game as the two embraced on the field. 💙 Prescott completed 18 of 29 passes for 237 yards and 4 touchdowns. Williams led the ground attack with 16 carries for 135 yards and a score, while Ryan Flournoy hauled in 6 catches for 114 yards, helping Dallas maintain its offensive rhythm. This win felt like the balance Dallas has been chasing all season — efficient offense, suffocating defense, and swagger.The Cowboys say this is only the beginning of their “championship-level” form, and if Sunday was any indication… they might just be right. ⭐
