Buffalo Bills
The Bills are coming off a 36-10 win and could use a cover linebacker to rotate with Dorian Williams and Terrel Bernard. They also need a safety after releasing C.J. Gardner-Johnson, who started six games. A luxury addition like Budda Baker would bring an eight-time Pro Bowl player, though he carries more than $8 million for the rest of the season and $17.8 million in 2027. A bargain option such as Elijah Molden, due $3.3 million, or Cam Bynum could provide depth while saving money elsewhere through restructuring.
Detroit Lions
The Lions rank fourth in offense by points allowed per possession but face defensive questions after a neck injury to Jack Campbell. Needs include a rotational edge rusher, cover linebacker and cornerback help. A luxury deal for Khalil Mack and Donte Jackson would cost nearly $8 million over the remainder of the season. A bargain target like Mike Hughes, who has started most games in recent years and played just eight defensive snaps in one contest, offers low-end reliability without high cost.
Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jaguars hold a three-game lead in their division and could add a swing tackle with Anton Harrison out and Patrick Mekari on injured reserve. Defensive depth is also needed after season-ending injuries to DaVon Hamilton and Eric Murray. Moro Ojomo stands out as a luxury target after recording six sacks and 12 knockdowns in 740 snaps last season at a cost of $2 million for the rest of this year. Andrew Wylie provides a bargain backup with 17 playoff starts and experience at guard and tackle.
