Bills’ Trade of LB Star to Commanders Stuns in Shocking Swap – ANHTRUC.

Week 5: Bills Sabotaged By International Game | Taylor Blitz Times

The Buffalo Bills have pulled off a stunner, trading veteran linebacker Matt Milano to the Washington Commanders for a 2025 third-round pick and a 2026 fifth-round pick, sources told ESPN Wednesday. With Milano’s $12.1 million cap hit looming in the final year of his deal (Spotrac), GM Brandon Beane shed the oft-injured star— sidelined by a 2024 leg fracture—to free $9.8 million, bolstering a $3.9 million cap. Washington, desperate for linebacker depth, lands a proven playmaker to pair with Frankie Luvu, while Bills fans reel from losing a defensive cornerstone.

Milano’s 2024 was cut short—3 INTs, 11 PBUs in 8 games before injury—but his career sparkles: 13 INTs, 43 PBUs, and an 82.8 PFF grade over 8 seasons (NFL.com). At 30, his coverage savvy (80.1 passer rating allowed) and leadership shone, mentoring Terrel Bernard (Web ID: 0). Washington’s secondary, 18th in pass defense (223.4 yards/game, ESPN), gets a boost with Milano’s versatility.

Commanders fans cheer on X: “Milano with Luvu? Defense is cooking!” But Bills Mafia fumes: “Trading Milano? Beane’s lost it!” Buffalo leans on Bernard and a thin LB corps, risking their 10th-ranked sack unit (47, 2024) as Joey Bosa settles in (Web ID: 0). Washington shores up a glaring hole—Dan Quinn’s scheme now boasts two coverage aces—while Bills bank on draft picks to rebuild. This AFC-NFC swap could reshape both defenses—or haunt Buffalo if Milano thrives.
