The Buffalo Bills are one of the better teams in the league heading into this season, and there's a chance they can improve their roster even more in the weeks leading up to Week 1.

Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox recently predicted the Bills would acquire New York Giants star edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux in exchange for a 2026 second-round pick and defensive tackle DaQuan Jones.

"If the Bills were interested in bolstering their pass rush ahead of Week 1, though, they could target New York Giants' standout Kayvon Thibodeaux," Knox wrote. "The 2022 first-round pick has tallied 21 sacks in three seasons and is set to carry a cap hit of only $10 million in 2025. He may also be viewed as expendable after New York traded for Brian Burns in 2024 and drafted Abdul Carter in April.

"Partnering Thibodeaux with Joey Bosa, Gregory Rousseau, and A.J. Epenesa would give the Bills a potent pass-rushing rotation, however. And Buffalo could look to offload pricey defensive tackle DaQuan Jones as part of the deal."

The Bills could use another star edge rusher to pair with Joey Bosa, Gregory Rousseau, and A.J. Epenesa. Thibodeaux would be the perfect option.

The Giants star has been very good, when healthy, in New York, but he would benefit even more from playing defense with the stacked Bills' edge rushing group.

He's still just 24 years old, so he's only going to improve as the years pass by. The only issue with this idea is the Giants. New York may not want to trade its young and improving edge rusher.

But if the Giants are unsure of Thibodeaux's plans when his contract expires, and if the Bills offer a second-round pick, there's a chance the Giants are willing to cut ties with the edge rusher.
