The Buffalo Bills have been consistently linked to a potential blockbuster trade<\/a> during the early stages of the NFL offseason. It makes sense as the roster appears a few stars short after another AFC Championship Game loss to the rival Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ben Volin<\/a> of the Boston Globe<\/em> added to the rumor mill Wednesday when he named the Bills a “team to watch” in the DK Metcalf sweepstakes. The standout Seattle Seahawks<\/a> wide receiver has formally requested a trade, per Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport<\/a> of the NFL Network.<\/p>\n

That buzz comes on the heels of Sportskeeda’s Tony Pauline<\/a> reporting Sunday that Buffalo will “put in a bid” for Cleveland Browns<\/a> defensive end Myles Garrett, who’s also requested a trade<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since the Bills have limited financial flexibility, they can’t land both Metcalf and Garrett. It begs the question: who should sit atop general manager Brandon Beane’s list of targets<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Bills Trade Rumors Feature Myles Garrett, DK Metcalf<\/h2>\n

The Case for Myles Garrett<\/h3>\n

Buffalo’s pass rush is its biggest concern. It signed future Hall of Famer Von Miller<\/a> in 2022, but a torn ACL suffered during his first season with the organization seemingly ended his days as a top-tier edge-rusher. He’s recorded just six sacks in 30 games, including the playoffs, over the past two years.<\/p>\n

So, with Miller as a cut candidate<\/a> and Greg Rousseau failing to emerge as an elite edge option, the Bills desperately need someone who can attack the opposing quarterback regularly.<\/p>\n
