Analysts have floated that Coleman’s days in Buffalo could be numbered despite a promising rookie showing. A notable national voice suggested the Bills could trade the second-round pick early in the process, highlighting San Francisco as a potential destination to help reload a WR room that saw veterans added to replace departed players.
That scenario hinges on Coleman’s perceived value, with a fourth-round pick cited as a plausible return package given the 49ers’ draft capital and their need for depth at wide receiver. The discussion frames Coleman as an insurance option who could be rehabilitated within a high-powered offense, should a deal materialize.
Another speculative angle has the Bills pursuing a bigger move by targeting a proven deep threat. Some analysts suggested sending Buffalo’s first-round pick along with Coleman to the Pittsburgh Steelers to acquire DK Metcalf, a move that would reshape the Bills’ top-line talent and give Coleman a chance to contribute in a larger role elsewhere.
Despite the rumors, there are indications the Bills intend to keep Coleman. General manager Brandon Beane has praised Coleman’s growth and maturity, noting that the rookie contract remains cost-controlled for a cap-strapped team and could influence the decision to retain him.
The situation remains fluid as the draft approaches. With the addition of Moore and the ongoing evaluation of Coleman’s development, Buffalo’s plans at wide receiver will likely stay a focal point of front-office discussions, and any moves would be weighed against long-term roster strategy and cap considerations.
