Buffalo Bills: 3 possible trade packages for Jalen Ramsey
By Ryan Heckman
Adding a talent like Jalen Ramsey would be quite the offseason splash for the Buffalo Bills
Heading into the next couple of weeks, things could change drastically for the Buffalo Bills and their 2023 season outlook.
Free agency is set to open up in mid-March, and we have the NFL Combine here just days away. The offseason is heating up.
Speaking of heating up, a recent report that the Los Angeles Rams may trade All Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey is surely going to be a story to watch, now.
The #Rams have had trade talks about six-time Pro Bowl CB Jalen Ramsey and league sources now believe it’s very likely Ramsey is dealt in coming weeks.

What exactly would it take for the Buffalo Bills to make a deal for the veteran cornerback? Let’s look at a few possibilities.
The Buffalo Bills could make it simple by offering their late first-round pick for Jalen Ramsey
The very first trade Buffalo could try and pull off is as simple as they come. If the Bills wanted to get straight to the point and add one of the league’s top cornerbacks, offering their late first-round pick might just get it done.
Now, the question becomes, is Ramsey worth the pick?
The Bills could end up with a starting offensive lineman with this selection, and that’s worth quite a bit to a team like this. Many mocks have the Bills drafting a guy like Florida’s O’Cyrus Torrence, who would be the dream pick for Buffalo at this stage in the first round.
Is adding Ramsey worth giving up a player like Torrence?
Buffalo might also have a shot at a wide receiver like Jaxon Smith-Njigba or Zay Flowers, and receiver is a definite need for a team like Buffalo who didn’t have anyone step up outside of Stefon Diggs last year.
A healthy duo of Ramsey and Tre’Davious White could prove lethal, but a first-round pick is a high price to pay. What else would the Bills possibly offer? There are a couple other scenarios that might just work.
