The Buffalo Bills’ wide receiver room may very well be the worst in the league at the moment, but the team could be looking to change that with a key free agent signing.
According to rumors circulating around the league, the Bills and free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. have a “mutual interest” in each other.
At the moment, the Buffalo Bills are in a tough salary cap situation, but between restructured deals and Beckham’s possible willingness to take a discount in order to be Josh Allen’s number one target, the two sides could make this work.
At the moment, the Bills’ wide receiver room consists of Khalil Shakir, Curtis Samuel, Mack Hollins, Justin Shorter, Andy Isabella, KJ Hamler, Tyrell Shavers and Bryan Thompson. There’s not a whole lot of production between these guys, so adding an established veteran with a track record like Beckham’s could go a long way towards helping this offense in 2024.

The Bills appear to be undergoing a bit of a rebuild, as they clearly didn’t feel as though they could compete for Super Bowls with their aging roster. And with their cap situation not looking good, it was time to dump some big salaries in an effort to inject some youth and add depth for the future.
Some of the biggest moves this offseason included releasing Pro Bowl veterans like Tre’Davious White and Jordan Poyer. But their biggest move of all was clearly their decision to trade Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans (along with 5th and 6th round picks) for a second-round pick in next year’s draft.
