2. Buffalo Bills

It is hard to craft a trade like the previous trade for the next two teams on the list. If the Los Angeles Chargers were to do business with the Buffalo Bills, though, the trade package would likely revolve around draft picks.

Either way, it is hard to deny that the Bills not only could use a running back of Gordon’s caliber but are actually a good fit for him. It might suck to hear as a Charger fan, but style-wise, the Bills could be great for Gordon.

First and foremost, they have the cap space moving forward to give Gordon the kind of extension that he is looking for, thanks in part to rookie quarterback, Josh Allen. Gordon, paired alongside Allen, would be a dangerous thing.

Allen is a threat on the ground himself and having a running back that can open the running game as well as be a threat in the passing game is only going to open up the field for the bombs that Allen is known for firing.

The Bills have a great defense and need playmakers on the offensive side of the ball to really have a chance of being a playoff team. Gordon is the definition of a playmaker and the door is now open for him after LeSean McCoy was released.
