NFL trade deadline grades: Ranking all deals made in 2026, led by Jordan Davis and Jessie Bates III to Jaguars
LIVE: Follow latest NFL trade rumors, updates NFL trade deadline grades Eric Hartline-Imagn Images Jaguars trade for Eagles DT Jordan Davis Grade: B The Jaguars completed their strong defensive line with Davis joining Arik Armstead in the middle between Travon Walker and Josh Hines-Allen.
Key points
- ‘Let's circle back after the game and see where things stand.’” Beane's Bills won't have much time to make a move if an opportunity that they like opens up after Monday night's game.
- But will general manager Brandon Beane get aggressive and push his chips in to finally get more defensive help for the best Bills player (Allen) in almost two generations?
- In an AFC playoff field likely to feature quarterbacks like Joe Burrow, Trevor Lawrence, and Patrick Mahomes, among others, this flawed defense could be an Achilles heel that ultimately keeps the Bills from playing in February's Big Game.
That behooves the Bills to get aggressive and patch some holes before Tuesday's NFL trade deadline, especially in their secondary.
