Over the last four seasons, the Buffalo Bills have featured one of the NFL’s most prolific passing attacks, primarily on the strength of quarterback Josh Allen and wide receiver Stefon Diggs. That era came to an end this offseason when the Bills traded Diggs to the Houston Texans. In addition to parting ways with Diggs, their No. 1 receiver, they also lost WR Gabe Davis, who signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars after finishing second on the team in receiving in both 2022 and 2023.
With the Bills possessing limited cap space, the retooling of the receiver room took the form of value free-agent signings like Curtis Samuel and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, along with the selection of WR Keon Coleman in the second round of this year’s draft. Internally, they’ll be looking at Khalil Shakir and hoping he can take another step in his development.
One thing that can’t be overlooked when talking about Buffalo’s receivers is the presence of Allen, who has the disposition and talent to shepherd these fresh faces through the inevitable bumps in the road. With that in mind, let’s look at who can contribute in 2024.
