The Buffalo Bills are coming off a huge win over the Kansas City Chiefs to send them to 6-2 to keep pace with the 7-2 New England Patriots in the AFC East.

On top of the win, though, the Bills and the rest of the NFL are gearing up for the trade deadline, which is just a day away. Buffalo has been linked to several players, including wide receivers Chris Olave and Jakobi Meyers. However, another name from the Miami Dolphins has entered the fray.

Per NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Dolphins are listening to calls for All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick.

"The Dolphins have been open to trading 5x Pro Bowl S Minkah Fitzpatrick, and there has been interest from multiple teams," Schultz reports. "Miami already traded Jaelan Phillips to the Eagles on Monday morning for a 3rd-round pick."

Fitzpatrick is a three-time All-Pro, all of which came with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was traded back to the team that drafted him at the end of June as part of the trade that sent Jalen Rams ey and Jonnu Smith to Pittsburgh. Considering the lack of top talent the Bills have at safety, a veteran like Fitzpatrick who can still make plays would be a great addition.
