Since trading away Stefon Diggs back in 2024, the Buffalo Bills have been without a clear top wide receiver. Attempts to find an answer in the draft or free agency have fallen short, limiting the ceiling of the offense.
This offseason, Buffalo may have a chance to change that. Recently, rumors have been brewing about the potential of Minnesota Vikings superstar Justin Jefferson requesting a trade. His frustration around his team’s quarterback situation seems to be growing, leading experts to speculate about him being dealt in the coming months.
It’s hard to imagine the Vikings trading Jefferson away, but they would have a long list of suitors if they decided to do so. The Bills should do whatever it takes to vault themselves to the top of that list.
3 Justin Jefferson trade packages Bills should propose to Vikings
Buffalo has limited cap space moving forward, but a few restructured contracts and necessary roster cuts could open up space for a player of Jefferson’s talent. If the Bills decide to take a swing for the superstar receiver, here are three trade packages that they should send the Vikings’ way:
The first trade package is the most likely option. With a general lack of depth on their roster, the Bills don’t have many players that they could offer the Vikings in return for Jefferson. So, they may turn to draft capital instead.
It would be a massive risk to give up two first-round picks. If the deal doesn’t pan out like the Bills hope, they could be in a difficult position for years to come. But in the face of a potential rebuild, the Vikings will want all of the draft picks that they can get.
This offer is only realistic if Coleman regains some of his value in the final stretch of the season. The former first-round pick has underwhelmed so far this year, even being benched after his poor performances. Still, his skill set would complement what the Vikings already have on their roster. If he can prove himself a capable starter in the coming weeks, he could become an important trade piece in the offseason. If not, this deal won’t be enough to entice the Vikings.
If the Bills are hesitant to part ways with two first-round picks, they could send this offer instead. Ty Johnson has become a fan favorite in Buffalo for his work in the passing game, but he would fit perfectly in the Vikings’ offense. He could serve as their Aaron Jones replacement, completing Minnesota’s backfield moving forward. Yes, this is a lot to give up for one player, but Jefferson would be more than worth it if he could push the Bills over the hump in their pursuit of a Super Bowl.
