The Buffalo Bills are in their Super Bowl window.
Yes, the team has Josh Allen so every year could potentially result in a Super Bowl, but the team is chock full of talent and seems to acknowledge that the time is now.
CBS Sports Cody Benjamin highlighted a few hypothetical trades for some big-name players. Buffalo was linked to an All-Pro talent that could immediately help out this offense: Josh Jacobs.
Benjamin discussed what that would look like without mentioning Buffalo in his brief description. "Technically he's locked in for 2023 under the franchise tag, but that doesn't mean the Raiders wouldn't field — or solicit — interest in the event a future long-term deal is unlikely."
Benjamin continued, talking about the Raiders coach Josh McDaniels and how his game plan to utilize multiple backs while with the Patriots would make sense for a hypothetical trade.
Additionally, Benjamin pointed out Josh Jacobs' previous history with the Vegas regime and why a trade would make sense, "..the veteran teased dissatisfaction with the current regime after Darren Waller's exit this offseason."
The reporter ended his description by labeling Buffalo, Arizona, and Seattle as 3 potential landing spots. Brandon Beane is seemingly always looking for a running back. Each offseason Beane is tied to a few in the draft and a few in free agency, typically bringing in a veteran or two throughout camp.
Anytime the team can add another weapon for Josh Allen is a net positive and this would do just that. However, with a Jacobs addition the running back room would be even more crowded with James Cook, Nyheim Hines, Damien Harris, and then Josh Jacobs.
Nevertheless, an All-Pro talent on offense could be what takes the team to the next level. Bills Mafia would more likely want some kind of offensive lineman to protect Josh Allen, but another potential touchdown machine would inarguably be fun to watch at Highmark Stadium.
With the draft rapidly approaching, let's see if Beane has a trade or two up his sleeve.
