The Buffalo Bills may be looking at bringing in some reinforcements, and their latest roster move is proof of that. With the trade deadline rapidly approaching and some big holes on the roster, Brandon Beane could be gearing up to make a move.
It's no surprise that the team is battling with some devastating injuries to the roster. From Tre'Davious White to Matt Milano and DaQuan Jones, to now Dawson Knox needing wrist surgery and no timeline is given for his return, both sides of the football need some help.
Brandon Beane and the Bills front office decided to restructure the contract of LT Dion Dawkins, converting his base salary into a signing bonus and creating roughly $4.9M in cap space, as Field Yates reported.
Dawkins has been a staple on the offensive line since being drafted by Buffalo. Throughout his career, Dawkins has been selected to two Pro Bowls while playing in 102 games and starting in 96 contests over his impressive career.
The decision immediately caused a firestorm on social media as many fans believed this was a sign for things to come, that Beane had something up his sleeve and was working on a deal to bring someone to Buffalo.
Now, there is also a corner of the Bills Mafia who are cynical, and we can't blame them after the last few performances, and the belief is that they are just going to bring some old head in to compete on the practice squad.
Here's hoping Beane is cooking up a trade to bring in some much-needed help to the roster. As it currently sits, the Bills are in a three-game skid on offense with no end in sight and far more questions than answers for a team with Super Bowl aspirations.
Something needs to change, and this could be the first domino in a series of moves to try and find some answers for a team struggling to find their identity.
