Bills Trade Rumor Oddly Links Injured Joey Bosa
Bills Trade Rumor Oddly Links Injured Joey Bosa originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Buffalo Bills signed star edge rusher Joey Bosa after the Los Angeles Chargers released him earlier this offseason, so the team has yet another player getting after the quarterback. Advertisement If Bosa can stay on the field, the team might need to find a new home for one of their edge rushers to make room for him. In a recent article by Bleacher Report's Gary Davenport, he lists one player that each NFL team could consider trading before the 2025 season. For the reigning AFC East champions, he thinks they could move on from edge rusher A.J. Epenesa. "The Bills just gave Bosa over $12 million to come to Buffalo in 2025. Gregory Rousseau received a four-year, $80 million extension that included $54 million in guarantees this spring. The team used a third-round pick in this year's draft on LSU's Landon Jackson," Davenport wrote. "There's always demand for edge-rushers in the NFL—even rotational options like Epenesa. And with him unlikely to be with the team past the 2025 season, now is the time to see what they can get for him." Bosa has had some struggles with injuries over the past several seasons, but if he can stay on the field, then Epenesa could be on the outs. ... or, at least, that's the theory here. Advertisement The reality? The 26-year-old edge rusher finished this past season with 39 total tackles and six sacks. He was also able to show his versatility with two passes defended and two forced fumbles. There is still a chance that the Bills need depth at the position if Bosa can't stay on the field. And we will argue that trading Epenesa while trying to win a Super Bowl would be weakening a weakness ... which is not a good plan. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 14, 2025, where it first appeared.

Bills Rookie Landon Jackson Taking 1-Percent Approach At Camp
Rookie mini-camps are happening all over the NFL, and the Buffalo Bills have just started theirs with all draft picks hitting the field and the classroom in preparation for the 2025 season. One such player is edge rusher Landon Jackson, the Bills' third-round pick, who will come to the franchise looking to bolster Buffalo's quarterback-hunting group. Advertisement With the first day of mini-camp done and dusted, which Jackson loved, when asked how he would feel with the proper professionals hitting the field with him soon, Landon was over the moon at the thought. "The end of the day, it's football," Jackson said. "So just come out here, do what I know I can do, not here for no reason. Just come out here with the same mindset every day and that's to get one percent better, so once the vets come around just kind of try picking their brain, getting to know more from them and really do all I can to perfect my craft."

Reynolds Razorback Stadium.© Nelson Chenault-Imagn Images Thought to be part of the rotation that will be tasked with getting the defense off the field on third down, something the unit struggled with last year, especially in the playoffs, Jackson will have quite the crew to learn from. Advertisement Greg Rousseau, Joey Bosa, Michael Hoecht, Larry Ogunjobi, and A.J. Epenesa are quite the group Jackson should watch go about their business both on and off the field. It will be a long, hard grind for Jackson and the other rookies as they get acclimated to the rigors of NFL football, but Landon's enthusiasm and willingness to work are contagious, and he will be looking to hit the ground running in his first offseason.
