Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills entered the offseason in need of another offensive weapon. To address this, they signed Josh Palmer to help fill the void left by Mack Hollins. However, this move isn’t considered ideal for the franchise. Amari Cooper remains a free agent and could potentially return, but he had minimal impact after being acquired from the Cleveland Browns before last year’s trade deadline.
While the free agent market has thinned considerably, the trade market offers some intriguing options that could be a perfect fit for Buffalo. Two wide receivers, in particular, stand out as potential targets. Let’s take a closer look at who the Bills should pursue.
Alec Pierce, Indianapolis Colts
One appealing option would be trading with the Colts for Alec Pierce, a receiver capable of stretching the field. Throughout his time in Indianapolis, Pierce has consistently demonstrated his ability to make big plays downfield. In the 2024 season, he recorded 37 catches for 824 yards and seven touchdowns, averaging an impressive 22.3 yards per reception. Pairing Pierce with Josh Allen’s deep-ball accuracy could fill a key gap in Buffalo’s offense. Additionally, playing alongside an elite quarterback might help Pierce fully unlock his potential.
Romeo Doubs, Green Bay Packers
Another intriguing target is Romeo Doubs from the Green Bay Packers. In his first three seasons, Doubs has flashed the talent of a true No. 1 wide receiver. With his current contract set to expire after the 2025 season, Green Bay might be hesitant to commit financially, potentially opening the door for a trade. In 2024, Doubs posted 46 receptions for 601 yards and four touchdowns, bringing his career totals to 147 catches for 1,700 yards and 15 touchdowns. At just 24 years old, he could be a valuable long-term piece for the Bills if they decide to offer him a new deal.
Both Pierce and Doubs present exciting opportunities for Buffalo to bolster their receiving corps. Adding one of these playmakers could significantly enhance the Bills’ offense for the upcoming season and beyond.
