NFL insider Jason La Canfora suggests that general manager Brandon Beane should consider trading for Arizona Cardinals edge defender Josh Sweat. La Canfora elaborates on why Sweat could be a valuable addition for Buffalo: “Somebody is going to pry Josh Sweat out of Arizona. He doesn’t want to be there, they aren’t close to winning, and the coach who recruited him there was fired. The Bills shouldn’t cling to future draft picks, and they haven’t found a breakout edge rusher early in the first round as a perennial Super Bowl contender every year.” Sweat, at 29, has registered 20 sacks over the past two seasons and posted his best pressure rates to date, suggesting he could push Buffalo over the top. Buffalo has previously been linked to potential trades for players like Maxx Crosby with the Raiders, signaling that pass rush improvement is a priority. La Canfora notes that this isn’t a strength for the Bills, pointing out that they didn’t have any edge rusher in the top 20 of ESPN’s pass rush win rate in 2025, ranked 27th in team pass rush win rate (31%), and 22nd in run stop win rate (30%). He quotes a top personnel executive who says, “They still don’t have a guy, and it’s hard to get where they want to go without one. They’re not going to bring Von Miller back. That didn’t work. Joey Bosa was at the end. They need more.” Greg Rousseau, who starred in the 2021 first round, has quietly become one of the league’s most productive and consistent pass rushers, accumulating more than 35 total tackles, at least four sacks, and double-digit pressures in each season since his rookie year. Ben Arthur of Fox Sports believes Rousseau could be the Bills’ X-factor next season, calling him a potential breakout player who could help unlock Buffalo’s pass rush. The team’s offseason moves and the emergence of players like Rousseau will play a crucial role in determining whether Buffalo can finally contend for a championship.
