In the meantime, Buffalo made a significant upgrade at receiver by trading for D.J. Moore, a move aimed at giving quarterback Josh Allen a clearer No. 1 weapon. That acquisition could influence how the Bills approach Coleman, potentially facilitating a trade for late-round draft capital or offering a path to continued development in Buffalo.
Interest has emerged around a potential Coleman-to-Minnesota connection, with the Minnesota Vikings discussed as a possible trade partner. Minnesota recently lost a third receiver in free agency and remains equipped with a dynamic duo in Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison; adding a third target could be a strategic fit, with Coleman positioned as a potential No. 3 option in the Vikings’ offense.
Coleman has shown flashes of the profile that made him the No. 33 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. In 26 career games for Buffalo, he has 67 receptions for 960 yards and eight touchdowns, standing 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds with the speed and athleticism to stretch the field. Under his current rookie contract, he has two more seasons to prove he can reach his potential or justify a role elsewhere.
As the offseason progresses, the Bills’ decision on Coleman will hinge on whether they believe he can develop into a reliable contributor or if a trade for cap relief or draft capital is in the team’s best interest. With the Moore addition changing the dynamic at wideout, Buffalo remains open to multiple pathways regarding Coleman’s future.
