The Buffalo Bills have had one of the best offseasons in the NF. They've extended several top stars, especially on the defensive side of the ball. They also brought in Joey Bosa on a one-year deal to give themselves a potential game-wrecker off the edge.

With that move, the Bills could have made another one of their edge rushers a potential trade block target. Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports names A.J. Epenesa a player the Bills could love to move.

"He's in the last year of a two-year, $12 million contract extension, but he just watched as his team signed Joey Bosa (one year, $12.6 million) and gave Greg Rousseau a four-year, $80 million extension," Vacchiano writes. "If the Bills aren't willing to commit big money to Epenesa, too, maybe one of the many teams in need of an edge rusher would be interested in his six sacks per year. It helps that there are a lot of good edge rushers in this draft, in case the Bills want an immediate replacement."

Epenesa has been a consistent player over the last three seasons. He had 6.5 sacks in 2022 and 2023 and six sacks in 2024. With Bosa and Rousseau as the top edge rushers, though, the Bills could move on from Epenesa and perhaps target a cheap veteran or draft a player to fill the need of a depth edge rusher.
