The Buffalo Bills have made two impactful late-season additions to their defense to make up for injuries, landing cornerback Rasul Douglas at the trade deadline and signing defensive tackle Linval Joseph.
One insider believes there could still be one more huge addition on the way — All-Pro linebacker Shaquille Leonard.
The Indianapolis Colts made waves with the unexpected release of Leonard this week, a move that also sparked speculation about what team will pick him up next. Though the cash-strapped Bills are seen as having only an outside chance, Bleacher Report’s Paul Kasabian wrote that he could be headed to Buffalo if the circumstances are right.
Bills Could Land Replacement for Matt Milano
Kasabian noted that the Bills have a big hole in their defense after losing All-Pro and Pro Bowler Matt Milano to a fractured leg. While the Bills might not be able to match other offers for Leonard, Kasabian pegged them as a contender with a “caveat” — that Leonard would need to be willing to take a smaller “prove it” contract.
