The Buffalo Bills weren’t as splashy as some other teams, but one former NFL player thinks they made the best trade at the deadline.
At 7-1, the Buffalo Bills have the best record in the entire league. The team has been excellent through eight games, and Josh Allen looks like he is finally ready to take that next step. As such, while there isn’t a lot better the Bills can do, they have still found a way to improve at the trade deadline.

On deadline day, various teams made some moves and trades. The Jacksonville Jaguars bolstered their defence. Kansas City got a new target for Patrick Mahomes in the form of Josh Downs. But Emmanuel Acho claims it was Buffalo who made the best acquisition of the day.
Emmanuel Acho says the Buffalo Bills trading for Amani Hooker is the ‘best’
Buffalo sent a second-round pick to the Tennessee Titans for safety Amani Hooker, ensuring that a deal went through at the deadline. The Bills needed to shore up the defensive side of the ball, making Hooker quite a solid addition to their unit.
Based on the fit for the franchise and the player’s own talents, Acho explained why this was the best move of the day across the league.
“Amani Hooker to the Bills is quietly the best move at the trade deadline,” Acho wrote while sharing his detailed take on X. “Tied for lead league in interceptions. Top 15 of all safeties in tackles. Bills Mafia, I’ve watched this dude play all season, this was a perfect fit.”
