The trade deadline is only a few days away and general manager Brandon Beane has apparently been busy working the phones. According to Jay Glazer, the Buffalo Bills are looking to make a splash before the trade deadline and this past week called about New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara.
The former All-Pro running back would be a logical fit for the Buffalo Bills and what they are looking for at running back. He is one of the best running backs in the NFL in catching the football and has had four seasons with 80 or more receptions.
However, as Glazer notes in his report the Saints were not interested in making a trade.
Buffalo Bills are clearly looking at the running back position
This is now reportedly the second running back this month that the Buffalo Bills had discussions about trading for. While the San Francisco 49ers ended up acquiring running back Christian McCaffrey, the Bills had at least some discussions with the Carolina Panthers prior to that trade.
There is some question about what was offered as John Wawrow with the Associated Press tweeted that they offered a second round pick but would not go higher. Wawrow sent a follow-up tweet acknowledging the Bills disagreed with the wording.
However, the Buffalo Bills appear to be in the market for a pass-catching running back and there are a few potentially available that could fit this role. Glazer noted later in his report, Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt and Cam Akers with the Los Angeles Rams are on the market.
It will be interesting to see if the Buffalo Bills are able to make a move before Tuesday afternoon but general manager Brandon Beane is one of the best general managers in the NFL. If there is a deal to be made that can benefit the Bills, he will likely be able to get it done.
