What happened: The Buffalo Bills traded draft picks No. 26 (1st round) and No. 91 (3rd round) to the New York Jets for picks No. 28 (1st round), No. 69 (3rd round) and No. 168 (5th round), per Adam Schefter. The deal was finalized during Day 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft. It positions the Jets to select two spots earlier in the first round.

Why it matters: Bills add volume for roster depth after 11-6 2025 season and playoff exit. Jets move up slightly, possibly targeting a premium talent amid rebuild. Shifts on draftee landing spots and team draft hauls.

By the numbers: NFL Trade Value Chart: 26 (670 pts) + 91 (115 pts) = 785 pts; 28 (590 pts) + 69 (170 pts) + 168 (42 pts) = 802 pts (near even). 2025 Bills: 11-6, AFC East 2nd. Jets: 7-10, AFC East 3rd. No injury data relevant.

What to watch: Monitor Jets' selection at No. 26 and Bills at No. 28. Expect follow-up trades in early Day 2.
