The Buffalo Bills enter the NFL trade deadline with a clear window of opportunity and a defense that is not yet matching the offense’s production.

Josh Allen is performing at an elite level, and the unit leads the league in points scored per game, yet the same defense is allowing more points per drive than any other team in the NFL.

That imbalance has general manager Brandon Beane and defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard looking for targeted additions that can raise the floor without requiring a major salary-cap commitment.

In a recent breakdown of potential deadline deals that could influence the Super Bowl race, Ted Nguyen of The Athletic outlined two realistic ways Buffalo could address those needs.

The first centers on Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Moro Ojomo. After missing out on DeForest Buckner, the Bills could still land a young, ascending interior lineman.

Ojomo, 25, recorded six sacks in nine starts last season and possesses the kind of upfield burst that Leonhard’s scheme is built to unleash.

Philadelphia has already extended Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter, and with its own season unraveling, the Eagles are expected to let Ojomo walk next spring.

A third-round pick would give Buffalo a three-down presence who can both clog running lanes and pressure the quarterback, pairing naturally with emerging talent Deone Walker for the present and the next several seasons.

The second idea pairs that front-seven reinforcement with a veteran safety who can immediately change the back end.

Arizona’s Budda Baker remains one of the league’s more instinctive playmakers, even if his recent seasons have drawn less attention.

Leonhard saw the impact a versatile safety can have when he coached in Denver alongside Talanoa Hufanga; Baker offers a similar skill set at a lower acquisition cost.

At 30 and with only one year remaining on his contract after 2026, Baker could be available for a fourth-round selection.

In Buffalo he would give Leonhard a reliable communicator and ball hawk who can free other defenders to be more aggressive, helping close the gap between the team’s offensive firepower and its defensive results.

Together the two moves would not overhaul the roster, but they would give a contending Bills team exactly what it lacks: a younger interior pass-rush threat and a proven playmaking safety, both obtained without sacrificing long-term draft capital or significant cap space.

With the deadline approaching and Allen’s prime continuing, Buffalo has incentive to act.
