If the Buffalo Bills are active at the trade deadline, safety should be near the top of general manager Brandon Beane's list.

Obviously, acquiring an All-Pro talent like Derwin James or Budda Baker would be a dream. Even getting a high-end starting caliber safety like Amani Hooker or Cam Bynum is a realistic option for Buffalo.

One major obstacle stands in the way of making one of these transactions happen - Buffalo's $4 million in cap space. The Bills will need to pull some salary cap levers in order to remain under the salary cap, regardless of who they acquire.

Here are some salary-cap-friendly options at safety that could be on Buffalo's radar at the trade deadline (Note: potential cap hits reflect the salary Buffalo would take on if the transaction occurs on trade deadline day).
