4 safeties the Buffalo Bills could target before the trade deadline

Johnathan Abrams

Unlike the Seattle Seahawks, the Las Vegas Raiders entered this season with high expectations with a new head coach and the big offseason addition of Davante Adams. However, this season has not played out the way they would have hoped and they are now 1-4 entering Week 7.

It is hard to imagine that the Raiders would be looking to give up on the season completely but may look to trade a few players for potential draft picks. One of those players is safety Johnathan Abrams, who is currently in the final year of his rookie contract after the Raiders didn’t pick up his fifth-year option.

Abrams is a former first round pick that hasn’t developed the way many would have hoped but is still a safety that could help the Buffalo Bills. He isn’t known for his coverage skills and probably would be utilized closer to the line of the scrimmage. This probably wouldn’t be a major issue for the Buffalo Bills and the way they utilize their safeties.

If the Bills were to add Abrams, it would likely mean Jordan Poyer would play more deep safety and try to stop the big plays through the air.
