The Buffalo Bills' roster is in a good spot as they attempt to make a Super Bowl run this season.
But that doesn't mean the Bills won't be active before the upcoming NFL trade deadline.
In fact, The Athletic thinks there's a player on Buffalo's roster that could be traded by November 1.
Joe Buscaglia, a Bills beat writer for The Athletic, thinks running back Zack Moss could be dealt by the Bills.
The Bills really aren’t in asset-trading mode considering they’re atop the AFC. But if they had to move someone, 2020 third-round pick Zack Moss could be that player. Moss was a healthy scratch against the Chiefs in Week 6; rookie James Cook seems to have passed Moss on the depth chart. The Bills aren’t likely to get much for a seldom-used running back who can’t crack the lineup of a Super Bowl contender, but maybe a late-round pick swap would do the trick.
If the Bills decide they want to trade Moss for a late-round pick, there's one team that should absolutely be interested.
On Thursday night, the Carolina Panthers sent superstar running back Christian McCaffrey to the San Francisco 49ers for draft picks in a blockbuster trade.
The Panthers are in the early stages of a massive rebuild. But they could use another running back now that CMC is heading to the West Coast.
Moss, who is under contract through the 2023 season, would be a good cheap option for the Panthers.
And with the multiple connections between the Bills and the Panthers (the front office and the coaching staff), it would make sense for a deal to happen between the two teams.
Moss has fallen out of favor in Buffalo. There's really no reason to keep him around. The Bills might as well get a late-round pick for the former Utah standout. And Carolina has plenty of picks now to offer after making multiple trades this week.
