Pro: Avoids potential contentious contract negotiation

Another reason to potentially make a trade now is that the Buffalo Bills might be able to avoid a contentious contract negotiation. While there has been no indication that it is heading that way, it is pretty common for players to hold out when they are unhappy with their contracts.

An example is currently Deebo Samuel, A.J. Brown and Terry McLaurin are all skipping on-field workouts in hopes of new deals.

This type of distraction is never good for teams who are hoping to win the ultimate prize at the end of the season, a Lombardi Trophy. While Jordan Poyer at this point probably could skip a majority of the offseason workouts and still play at a high level by the time the regular season came around, it does create unnecessary questions for players and coaches when a player is absent during the offseason.
