You’re probably all on top of the latest news surrounding the Buffalo Bills and we hope Bills Wire helped you get there. But let us keep you up to date with the Bills news, just outside the Bills’ realm.
The upcoming 2020 NFL season has many thinking the Bills are the favorite in the AFC East. But Buffalo isn’t just going to stroll into that title. The Dolphins, Jets, and of course the Patriots, will all have something to say about that.
So let’s stay on top of some of the latest headlines surrounding the Bills’ divisional foes now. Here are seven news stories from the other three AFC East teams from the last week right here:
New York Jets
Jamal Adams dealt to Seahawks
The Bills no longer have to face safety Jamal Adams. Not often, anyway. The Bills and Seahawks faceoff in Week 9 next season, but then that could be the last time the Bills face the star safety ever again (if he stays with the Hawks, that is). Over the weekend, Adams’ saga with the Jets came to an end as he was traded away to the NFC West team.
It’s hard to admit, but the Jets got a real good haul for him, too. Just hours after going on the record in an interview where Adams essentially trashed his head coach, Adam Gase, and the team’s general manager, Joe Douglas, the Jets landed safety Bradley McDougald, a first-round pick in 2021, a third-round pick in 2021 and a first-round pick in 2022. It was only the eighth time an individual player was traded for two first rounders.
Two first-round picks? For a guy who was very, very unlikely to play for your team ever again? Not bad, Jets.
