In at least one respect, the Bills are still considering adding some size to the wide receiver room even after adding Stefon Diggs.
According to Draft Wire, the Bills had or have a pre-draft meeting set with Georgia wideout Lawrence Cager.
Georgia #WR Lawrence Cager met informally w) 31 teams (excl/ the #Patriots) at the combine.
The COVID-19 outbreak has impacted his private visit/workout sked, but he was be able to get a mtg in w/ the #Jets. He had additional mtgs set w/ the #Jets (a 2nd mtg), #Bills & #Lions

Diggs is a fantastic route runner and makes contested catches look easy. Exactly what the Bills needed. But Diggs is just about 6-feet in height. He’s not overly large, not like the 6-foot-5, 220-pound Cager, at least.
For the Bills, such numbers likely stand right out, and apparently have, as they’ve had some sort of meeting with him following the combine. That could have been in-person, or perhaps just a video chat with the team with the ongoing pandemic, depending on when it was scheduled.
In Cager, the Bills would get a player that would likely fit into what they’re currently doing at the positional group. Diggs, 26, joins two 30-plus players in John Brown and Cole Beasley, a pair that could take any pressure off of Cager to come in and produce immediately.
Slated as a likely late pick at the 2020 NFL Draft, Cager has reliable hands and flashed improved speed during his college career, but due to a broken ankle, he did not partake in anything but interviews at the combine.
In 2019, the raw prospect in Cager played in nine of 14 games, with six starts and had 33 catches for 476 yards and four TDs.
