The trade speculation has followed Shaq Lawson for months. It was reported that he was not in the best of relationships with the new coaching staff under Sean McDermott. In the end, the Buffalo Bills chose to keep him but not much has changed. Lawson still hasn’t found any sort of groove in their defense with just one sack this season.

If things don’t change, what’s the point of Buffalo keeping him? It’s clear he’s not flourishing and the aura of him being a former 1st round pick won’t last much longer. They’d be better served to get something for him while he is still young and has the upside other teams might be willing to gamble on. Either way, he’s positioned to be quite the bust for that franchise.
