The Buffalo Bills have struggled significantly over the past two weeks, being outscored 58-30. Their offensive showing against the Houston Texans highlighted their pressing need for a wide receiver. Despite Josh Allen making history for the wrong reasons by completing only 30% of his passes, he isn’t solely to blame. While he did make some questionable decisions, his receivers offered little support. It’s concerning that Keon Coleman led the team with just 49 yards on a single catch.
With Khalil Shakir inactive against the Texans, the Bills turned to Coleman, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Mack Hollins, and Curtis Samuel to spark the passing game. However, these four receivers managed only four catches from 18 targets, according to Matthew Bove. It’s evident that the Bills have a glaring need at wide receiver.
NFL legend Larry Fitzgerald has joined the conversation about a possible Davante Adams trade to Buffalo. On *The Rich Eisen Show*, Fitzgerald expressed that the Bills would be an ideal destination for Adams due to their clear need at the position. As Adams nears the latter part of his career, he should aim to join a team that offers him the best chance for success.
Trade rumors surrounding Adams have intensified recently, and it’s apparent he will eventually leave the Raiders—it’s just a question of when. However, there are complications with such a trade. Adams’ contract is hefty, and the Raiders would likely try to avoid absorbing part of his salary. Additionally, Buffalo has salary cap constraints, and unless GM Brandon Beane can work some financial magic, Bills fans might be disappointed if no trade for Adams materializes.
