The Buffalo Bills‘ receiver needs have been well-documented for the past couple of seasons, and the franchise has already swung a trade for Chicago Bears receiver DJ Moore, but more should be on the way.
Given that the Bills don’t have many legitimate threats in the passing game for Allen, with just Khalil Shakir, Dalton Kincaid, and now Moore, the Bills, in my opinion, have to get more weapons.
But where should the franchise be looking?
With free agency starting in the next couple of days, Sports Illustrated’s Gilberto Manzano thinks that the Bills should go after Deebo Samuel.
“Buffalo doesn’t have much cap space to splurge on a wide receiver for Josh Allen,” Manzano wrote. “However, Samuel likely won’t command a high price tag as he heads into his age-30 season. He’s lost some explosiveness, but he’s still a productive playmaker, recording 72 catches for 727 yards and five touchdowns with the Commanders last season.”

Samuel a shrewd option
Deebo isn’t the “Deebo” we remember from his time in San Francisco, but he still offers value.
With the Washington Commanders last season, Samuel still posted 727 yards and 5 TDs, so the production is still there.
And with the Bills, Samuel could be quite the weapon for Joe Brady. His $15 million APY market value by Spotrac.com is way overpriced, and I don’t see any team giving him that this offseason.
But a team-friendly deal to pair him with Moore as Buffalo’s receiver additions isn’t a bad move.
