The Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Chargers have a lot to prove in 2024. The Bills want to prove they’re a Super Bowl contender with Josh Allen at the helm, even with the losses of Jordan Poyer, Micah Hyde, and Stefon Diggs.
The Chargers want to show the league that they Justin Herbert and company can gel with Jim Harbaugh and compete in the AFC.
However, could the two teams be in business in the near future?
The Buffalo Bills And Los Angeles Chargers Could Pull Off Massive Trade
Alex Kay of Bleacher Report wrote about how star edge rusher Joey Bosa could wind up a member of the Buffalo Bills:
Bills Receive: Edge Joey Bosa
Chargers Receive: 2025 third-round pick
The Buffalo Bills had a relatively quiet offseason, one that uncharacteristically saw them ship out more high-profile talent than they brought aboard. While the team still has Super Bowl aspirations with quarterback Josh Allen running the offense, the defense could use a bit more firepower—especially on the edge—to keep pace in what should be a fierce race for the AFC East crown.
The return of Von Miller will give the team a much-needed boost in the pass-rushing department, but acquiring another proven Pro Bowl edge defender could push this unit over the top. Joey Bosa would be an ideal target for a team in win-now mode and may benefit from a change of scenery following two injury-plagued campaigns with the Los Angeles Chargers.
Bosa has notably only suited up for 14 contests since the 2021 season wrapped up. While his various injuries are concerning, the four-time Pro Bowler has still been effective when he’s on the field—tallying nine sacks in the games he did play over the last two years.
Considering the Chargers are entering a new era under head coach Jim Harbaugh, it could be time to get a fresh start on defense by dealing Bosa for a Day 2 pick. If the Bills are willing to cough that up and Bosa can stay healthy, they’ll be much better equipped to take on the likes of Aaron Rodgers and Tua Tagovailoa during a grueling 2024 slate.
For me, one third round pick for one of the best edge rushers in the NFL seems low. However, Kay is right, if the Chargers (under Jim Harbaugh) want to start building “their” team, moving on from some key pieces in favor of premium draft picks may be necessary.
The Bills will be in a “win now” mode as long as Josh Allen is under center. Allen is 28-years-old, so it is safe to assume he has a lot of quality football ahead of him, however, nothing in the NFL is guaranteed. Getting pieces to win now will be at the forefront of Buffalo’s mind each and every year.
