The Buffalo Bills, led by MVP Josh Allen, are one of the best teams in the league with legitimate Super Bowl aspirations.
But the Bills still have moves to make. The price of having such a talented roster is reflected on the payroll. The Bills have the least amount of salary cap space right now. In fact, they're the only team in the NFL with negative space at the moment.
It wouldn't be surprising to see Buffalo make a significant move to address that issue before Week 1.
Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox recently listed defensive tackle DaQuan Jones as a potential trade candidate ahead of the regular season, and the idea makes a lot of sense.
"Like the Ravens, the Buffalo Bills have realistic dreams of a Super Bowl in 2025. However, they also face one of the worst cap situations in the league. No team has to shed more salary before August 26 than Buffalo," Knox wrote. "This means they will face some difficult decisions in the coming weeks. They should make one of them now and place defensive tackle DaQuan Jones on the trade block.
"While Ogunjobi faces a six-game suspension to start the season, the Bills have enough depth to at least see what Jones might bring in return. Moving the final year of his contract would save $7.8 million in cap space."
Trading Jones makes too much sense for the Bills not to entertain the idea.
Buffalo added to its defensive line during the offseason with free agency and the NFL draft. These additions provide more than enough depth while Larry Ogunjobi is facing a six-game suspension.
Clearing nearly $8 million by trading Jones would be much more beneficial for Buffalo than keeping him on the roster as a rotational lineman.
