If you're wondering whether the Bills will make a move, two insiders say they're looking. Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer and The Athletic's Jonathan Jones both report Buffalo is looking at cornerbacks and safeties. Jones wrote that the Bills "have made calls on safeties and cornerbacks" and were "already sniffing around" before they parted ways with C.J. Gardner-Johnson this week.

Cap room is tight. Jones wrote that "with just $3 million in cap space, there won't be a Jeffery Simmons-level trade."

  • Cornerback starters: Christian Benford and Davison Igbinosun
  • Safety: Cole Bishop is a starter; Damar Hamlin is depth
  • More cap space: restructure Dion Dawkins and Joshua Palmer, or trade Palmer

The Wrap

Buffalo's YMCA Turkey Trot has been around since 1896, and this month it takes a new course. The new route skips the Donut Drop, aka the Timbit Bridge near Delaware and Nottingham, where people tossed Timbits at runners. One Redditor's fix: twenty-foot ladders on West Ferry. We'd pay to see that.
