The curious case of Keon Coleman will roll on for the Buffalo Bills during the ongoing 2026 NFL offseason.
Coleman was put in an uneasy position this spring by Bills owner Terry Pegula with comments made following the firing of head coach Sean McDermott. Since then, Coleman has had the constant backing of general manager Brandon Beane and new head coach Joe Brady.
Regardless, since being selected by the Bills as the team’s top selection at the 2024 NFL Draft, Coleman has left something to be desired. Now with the addition of DJ Moore via trade this offseason, Coleman slides down Buffalo’s wide receiver depth chart.
Does that mean Coleman could be traded himself this offseason?
As of now, it seems unlikely. A group of insiders from ESPN still named four teams that could have interest in him. All four responses can be found below:
Baltimore Ravens
Jeremy Fowler’s offer:
Bills get: 2027 fifth-round pick
Ravens get: Coleman
Why this deal makes sense: Buffalo seems content with keeping Coleman, but Baltimore can jump into the fray to improve its thin receiver depth. Coleman’s play style should fit with Lamar Jackson, as he’s a big receiver with catch radius. This would also allow Buffalo to develop fourth-round rookie Skyler Bell for a sizable role in the offense.
Washington Commanders
Dan Graziano’s offer:
Bills get: 2028 fifth-round pick
Commanders get: Coleman
Why this deal makes sense: The Commanders still might end up with Brandon Aiyuk once the 49ers give up and cut him, but that’s taking longer than expected. They need receiver depth behind Terry McLaurin, and this is a low-cost flier on a player with good draft pedigree. Washington still hasn’t re-signed Deebo Samuel, who led the team in targets (99), receptions (72), receiving yards (727) and receiving touchdowns (five) last season.
Las Vegas Raiders
Ben Solak’s offer:
Bills get: 2028 fifth-round pick
Raiders get: Coleman, 2028 seventh-round pick
Why this deal makes sense: The Raiders don’t have a big-framed receiver on their roster, which is one of the lone weaknesses of a skill position group that’s otherwise well constructed. Coleman would join the depth chart behind Tre Tucker and Jalen Nailor, challenging second-year players Jack Bech and Dont’e Thornton Jr. for snaps. Rookie QB Fernando Mendoza loved to throw back-shoulder balls to big-bodied receivers like Coleman during his time with the Hoosiers.
Atlanta Falcons
Seth Walder’s offer:
Bills get: 2027 fourth-round pick
Falcons get: Coleman, 2028 sixth-round pick
Why this deal makes sense: The Falcons are a logical fit because of where they are as a team — starting over at head coach and GM, with long-term uncertainty at quarterback. They can afford to take a shot on Coleman’s upside, and he would immediately add value to a receivers room that doesn’t feature much after Drake London (Olamide Zaccheaus, Jahan Dotson and third-round pick Zachariah Branch). And if Coleman breaks out in Year 3, the Falcons would have him under contract for 2027, too.
