Bills Add Bosa, Mull Defensive Moves and Trades

The Buffalo Bills have bolstered their defensive line by signing Joey Bosa, Larry Ogunjobi, and Michael Hoecht, as well as drafting three defensive linemen, but Ogunjobi and Hoecht will miss the first six games due to PED suspensions. Joey Bosa remains sidelined with a calf injury, increasing concerns about depth and reliability for the pass rush. Analysts recommend the Bills sign veteran Za'Darius Smith as added insurance, especially alongside Gregory Rousseau and A.J. Epenesa, though there is also a suggestion to trade Epenesa if Smith joins. Meanwhile, the Carolina Panthers are evaluating their defensive tackle group, with veteran A'Shawn Robinson potentially on the trading block after failing to improve the run defense. Both teams are actively seeking the right mix of veterans and young talent on their defensive fronts ahead of the 2025 season. These moves reflect a broader effort to balance injury risks, experience, and youth.
