With ESPN's Dan Graziano believing the Bills could look to make a trade at cornerback, PFF has listed Jets CB Brandon Stephens as a potential option.
Pro Football Focus analyst Bradley Locker suggested the Buffalo Bills as a top trade destination for New York Jets cornerback Brandon Stephens ahead of the 2026 NFL trade deadline. ESPN's Dan Graziano also highlighted Buffalo's need for secondary reinforcement as the unit transitions under defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard. The proposal argues Buffalo could acquire Stephens, who is playing on a three-year, $36 million contract, potentially in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round draft pick.
Buffalo has experienced strain in the secondary with Christian Benford dealing with a toe injury and rookie first-round pick Maxwell Hairston facing early struggles. Despite Hairston allowing eight receptions and two touchdowns through four weeks, Bills head coach Joe Brady expressed full confidence in the young cornerback. The trade pitch suggests Stephens would provide veteran stability despite intra-division trade hurdles with New York.
