The Buffalo Bills made a significant move this offseason by trading a second-round pick to the Chicago Bears in exchange for wide receiver DJ Moore.
Just because the Bills picked up a top-tier wide receiver doesn’t mean they’re done looking to add depth at the position. There are still plenty of free agents available who could help support Josh Allen.
Bills Urged To Add JuJu Smith-Schuster
The Bills might be holding off on adding to their roster until after the NFL draft. Still, Gary Davenport from Bleacher Report believes that Buffalo should consider signing veteran free agent receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster.
“Given that the team entered the offseason in something of a precarious position relative to the salary cap, the Bills actually did a pretty good job of addressing needs in free agency — the trade for D.J. Moore gives Josh Allen a badly-needed upgrade at wide receiver and Buffalo bolstered the pass rush with the signing of edge-rusher Bradley Chubb,” Davenport wrote on Monday.
“With just $12.3 million in cap space per Over the Cap and a rookie class still to sign, any further free agency moves will likely be lower-end additions — like signing another wide receiver to flesh out a room that still needs depth.”
JuJu Smith-Schuster has played in the NFL for nine seasons, spending five with the Pittsburgh Steelers, three with the Kansas City Chiefs and one with the New England Patriots.
In 121 career games, Smith-Schuster has recorded 481 receptions for a total of 5,624 receiving yards and 33 touchdowns. He also made the Pro Bowl in 2018 and won a Super Bowl with the Chiefs.
“Juju Smith-Schuster’s days of catching 100 passes and topping 1,400 receiving yards are long past him,” Davenport added. “But it wasn’t that long ago (2022) that Smith-Schuster caught 78 passes for 933 yards and three scores with the Kansas City Chiefs, and the 10th-year veteran won’t turn 30 until November.”
Could Stefon Diggs Head to The Chiefs
While the Bills could be looking to add a new receiver to the mix, one of their former wide receivers, Stefon Diggs, is still on the market, and Davenport thinks he should sign with the Chiefs.
“A Chiefs team used to deep playoff runs is coming off its first 10-loss season since a 2-14 debacle in 2012, and quarterback Patrick Mahomes is rehabbing the first major injury of his career — an ACL tear that leaves his availability for the start of the 2026 campaign in doubt,” Davenport added.
“Bringing in Stefon Diggs wouldn’t be a weird move, though. The Chiefs need to add a wide receiver to a room that currently sports Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and not much else. Kansas City has also made something of a habit of bringing in veteran wide receivers who were cast off by other teams.”
Diggs played four seasons for the Bills from 2020 to 2023, making four Pro Bowls and helping Allen become one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.
The 32-year-old receiver isn’t the player he once was, but if he does head to the Chiefs, he could get back to playing great football with Mahomes throwing the ball.
