- Buffalo Bills Express Interest in Trading for New Starting Linebacker
The Buffalo Bills got their biggest win of the season on Sunday night, defeating the Kansas City Chiefs 28-21 in primetime. The win not only sets them up for better seeding in the AFC playoff race, Buffalo knocked off one of the NFL's hottest teams.
Now that the Bills have better positioned themselves for a deep playoff run, they could be poised to take advantage by trading for a new starting linebacker.

According to ESPN's NFL insider Adam Schefter , the Bills have already expressed an interest in trading for Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson . But the Bills aren't alone. Schefter reported that the Dallas Cowboys and Indianapolis Colts have also registered some trade interest in Wilson, who recently lost his starting role in Cincinnati.
"Another Cincinnati defensive standout whose name has come up as the deadline approaches is linebacker Logan Wilson, who requested to be traded less than two weeks ago. Teams that have expressed some interest in Wilson are the Bills, Cowboys and Colts, sources told ESPN. Wilson also is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears because of a calf injury."
Wilson, 29, has two more years left on his contract. Currently playing on an $8.75 million cap hit, Wilson wants a trade out of Cincinnati, and now he may get his wish.
Wilson has tallied 46 tackles and a fumble recovery in eight appearances (one start). He may have to continue building on those numbers with a different team, and the Bills would certainly be a good fit after suffering several injuries across their defense.
Buffalo entered Week 9 ranking 31st in rushing yards allowed per attempt. They've also allowed the second-most rushing yards and touchdowns this season, so some reinforcements would certainly help.
