The Buffalo Bills will have questions surrounding their wide receiving corps for the second straight year. Last year, the Bills sent Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans and drafted Keon Coleman out of Florida State, as well as several other additions to try and replenish the loss of Diggs.
After six games, the Bills knew they needed a legit No. 1 outside option, which led to them trading for Amari Cooper, sending a fourth-round pick to the Cleveland Browns. However, Cooper only caught 20 passes in his time with the Bills and will be a free agent, making it seem as if the Bills will look for someone new. If that’s the case, Seth Trachtman believes Keenan Allen will be the guy Buffalo brings in.

“Buffalo eventually replaced Stefon Diggs veteran presence in 2024 with Amari Cooper, and they would do well to find another proven wideout to support Josh Allen and the offense,” Trachtman writes. “Allen is a nice fit on the downside of his career, showing off surehandedness and veteran leadership for a team with Super Bowl aspirations.”
Allen will be 33 when the 2025 season begins, but is still productive at his age. He had 70 catches and seven touchdowns in 15 games last season with the Bears. The six-time Pro Bowler is better suited as a big power-slot receiver, but would be a welcome addition for Buffalo.
