Plausible X/#1 receiver trade candidates — are there any?

I guess I'm just not sure why the Raiders would trade their young WR who seems to be kinda blossoming this season unless we overpay of course.

Lol, I don’t know either. Because we need him more?? 🤣🤣🤣

If on November 5th we had a WR group of 

 

Olave

Meyers

Shakir

Coleman

Palmer

Samuel/Moore/Shavers/Gabe

 

I could probably get on board with being semi-excited for the rest of this season. Still not great but it forces everyone into a more natural role. You still need a lot of help on defense but that is a group that could probably do enough if Josh is Superman. 

[BuffaloBaumer]

The defense can get by on what they have, especially when some injured/suspended players return. Maybe add a safety that would at least be a minor upgrade on what they have.

 

What they absolutely HAVE to do is add a #1 WR that changes the ENTIRE offense. I don't care how many draft picks they need to give away, or how you need to manipulate the cap, do it already. This team only succeeds when Allen can do his thing, and getting a true #1 changes everything for Josh, Shakir, Coleman, Kincaid, and Cook.

If they somehow find a way to trade for Olave and Meyers this team has a top 10 WR unit in the NFL. Olave is a legit lower end WR1, Meyers is a legit WR2, Shakir a top slot WR in the league and Keon and Palmer as WR 4/5 is the better depth options in the league. They aren't going to be able to trade for both. But the idea that if they did that it would only make you semi-excited is hilarious to me. 

 

If this team could get Olave and he stays healthy this offense is transformed.

Adding a piece in the secondary could give the defense a shot in the arm but I generally agree the defense is much more likely to improve just by getting guys back from injury plus the PED Twins suspension.

The problem is that Giants and Patriots are all over the WR talk, and no doubt have a much better cap situation than Buffalo...not to mention the drafting position next year, if a 1st is involved.

The giants cap situation is as bad as Buffalo's.

 

Barnwell had them trading Deonte Banks to Miami for waddle because it would clear cap space to handle waddle.

If we lose to the Panthers the only trade I want to see is with SF. Josh Allen for a 1st. Let him go with a competent organization.

 

But back to your premise if we get Olave I want another WR, too.

 

Ridley and Olave - sending Samuel or Davis or someone else young would be fine - is what i would take.

I saw a video on Youtube that JA17 is unhappy and wants to be traded to a decent team.

I saw a video on Youtube yesterday that Josh Allen had already been traded to the Cowboys. It’s so easy to make clickbait BS with AI.

The Giants cap isn't much better, fortunately for the Bills there's several WR options out there on the market. Adams was the big WR on the trade market last season and the Bills were still able to make a move at WR even after the Jets got Adams. So if the Pats acquire Meyers the Bills still have options out there.

What happened to that Buffalo Bulls act on Twitter that used to have some inside rumor info, tried to search for him but nothing.

[starrymessenger]

My gut tells me Shaheed is, and should be imo, the target- for a fourth. But McD will probably look for help at safety.

WR or safety help I agree.

 

No one knows who or when or even IF any deal will be made

 

I hate waiting  and nada. Yet.

 

And there is no guarantee he will try to make a deal  before the trade deadline 

 

ACK I want some action dangit. I can't be alone.

 

I guess I'll need to TRY to learn patience..

Semi excited because we still gotta use knox and Moore on an endaround at least once per game

In my opinion, there won't be significant moves until after Sunday's game, at the earliest. With 7 wildcard spots, it takes longer for teams to consider themselves out of the race and thereby sellers. The only teams that are probably looking towards next year at this point are the Jets, Dolphins, and Browns, and two of those teams wold demand a MASSIVE overpay from the Bills. If the Saints win this Sunday at Chicago, they may decide to stay the course and attempt to compete. They've been in every game, and they haven't even played a single division game. Also, the Steelers and Pats are currently also in the WR market, and both of them have MUCH better cap situations than the Bills. The Steelers are also very much in "win now" mode with one year of Aaron Rodgers. And just in case no one is paying attention, they are currently the one seed in the AFC and have a very winnible game in Cincinnati tonight. I expect Waddle to be a Steeler any day now. And if Bills fans want Olave or Shaheed, we all need to be Bears fans this week.

How about a trade with the Cowboys for wide receiver George Pickens ?

I think if Dallas loses again before the trade deadline Jerry may just decide to blow it up a little with all the draft picks he is sitting on.

Dallas traded a 2026 3rd round and a 2027 5th round pick for Pickens.

The Bills could offer a 2026 2nd rounder and a player?

Pickens could excel on the Bills.

If the Bills end up meeting the Steelers in the playoffs I am sure George would be motivated like Diggs was against the Bills two weeks ago.

It is not the sexy trade, but it would definitely help the Bills without setting the team far back and it helps Dallas if they are going into rebuild mode.

GO BILLS

 

[PetermansRedemption]

With how awesome Pickens has been for Dallas I can’t see them giving him up yet. 

[QB Bills]

George Pickens catching passes from Josh Allen isn't sexy? Check out Jay Sherman over here..

 

[JAMIEBUF12]

I see your point. My thinking was if Dallas loses again.They may go another route.
