One of the Buffalo Bills’ biggest needs this offseason is undoubtedly the wide receiver room. Just how they go about acquiring some help is the question. New general manager Brandon Beane not only has to crunch the numbers to make any moves this offseason, but he\u2019s also leading the charge to find the franchise a new head coach.<\/p>\n
Nonetheless, whoever that new head coach may be, he\u2019s going to want more reliable targets for Josh Allen next season.<\/p>\n
According to a report from San Francisco 49ers reporter Grant Cohn, the Niners are interested in a wide receiver trade target that the Bills also have an eye on: Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison.<\/p>\n
49ers Reporter says Buffalo Bills “like” Vikings’ Jordan Addison as offseason trade target<\/p>\n
\u201cThe wide receiver [the 49ers] are initially targeting, in a trade, is Jordan Addison,\u201d Cohn said in a video posted on X <\/a>Wednesday afternoon. \u201cSo, apparently, from what I heard, there have already been initial discussions between the two teams on a trade. I don\u2019t know if the Niners have made an offer. I don\u2019t know if they\u2019ll ultimately get him, because other teams are probably going to want him. I\u2019m hearing Buffalo is the team that would like Jordan Addison.\u201d<\/p>\n I\u2019m hearing the 49ers want to trade for Jordan Addison. pic.twitter.com\/q8G0OqZB9v<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Grant Cohn (@grantcohn) January 21, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n As Cohn pointed out in his video, the Bills have a recent trade history with the Vikings, of course, that being the 2020 trade for Stefon Diggs.<\/p>\n Addison is entering his fourth season, and as a former first overall pick, the Vikings have to decide if they want to pick up his fifth-year option. There\u2019s reason to believe the Vikings would move on<\/a> with Jalen Nalor on the roster and Addison\u2019s troubled first three seasons, which include a statistical downturn each of the past two seasons from an exciting rookie campaign. He has also been arrested three times, <\/a>first for speeding at 140 miles per hour, next for a DUI, which he pleaded no contest to, and most recently for trespassing, charges for which were dropped on Wednesday.<\/p>\n While that\u2019s a lot of baggage, Addison turns just 24 years old on Tuesday. A change of scenery may be the help he needs to get his once-promising career back on track.<\/p>\n Cohn floated his trade package suggestions for the 49ers to send maybe a second or third-rounder, or a player and a mid-round pick to Minnesota for Addison. That might be a bit rich considering the off-the-field concerns, though that may be where Buffalo finds its advantage. The Bills could trade one young, disgruntled receiver for another.<\/p>\n Bills could solve solve their obvious Keon Coleman delimma with Addison trade<\/p>\n After all, Keon Coleman would be justified in asking for a trade himself after Terry Pegula willingly stepped in to throw the 23-year-old receiver under the bus<\/a> to defend Brandon Beane’s decision to draft him. Pegula said on Wednesday that it wasn\u2019t Beane\u2019s idea to draft Coleman; it was Sean McDermott\u2019s coaching staff that advised the pick.<\/p>\n
