Bills Trade Second-Round Pick Boogie Basham: Report

Buffalo Bills' defensive end, Greg Rousseau, is expected to start for the New York Giants in the upcoming season.

In the 2021 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills selected defensive end Basham with the 61st overall pick. Although he did not start any games in his first two seasons, the former Wake Forest standout appeared in 23 games. However, during the 2022 NFL season, Basham had an impressive performance, recording 19 tackles, 2.0 sacks, one tackle for loss, five QB hits, one interception, two pass deflections, and one fumble recovery in 15 games. According to ProFootballTalk, he was on the field for 39% of Buffalo's defensive snaps and 10% of special teams snaps.

Looking ahead, the New York Giants currently have A'Shawn Robinson and Leonard Williams as their starting defensive ends. However, their second-stringers, D.J. Davidson and Ryder Anderson, have recently suffered injuries. This situation may create an opportunity for Basham to showcase his skills and potentially earn a starting role.

As for the upcoming 2023 season, the New York Giants will kick off their campaign at MetLife Stadium against their NFC East Division rival, the Dallas Cowboys, on September 10. On the other hand, the Buffalo Bills will host the New York Jets in the first Monday Night Football matchup of the season in Week 1.
