The Buffalo Bills made one of the boldest moves of Tuesday's NFL trade deadline, acquiring safety Amani Hooker from the Tennessee Titans to bolster their secondary.
The New York Post framed the deal as a Super Bowl contender loading up for the playoff push.
Hooker wasn't Buffalo's only target. Newsweek reports the Bills first made an aggressive push for another Pro Bowl defensive back before landing him.
The Hooker family is thrilled with the move. According to the Post, Hooker's wife, Stelle, celebrated the trade on social media with a cheerful "Hello NY".
For a Bills team with championship hopes, adding a proven starter in the back end could be the difference in January.
