The Buffalo Bills became noticeably thin at the wide receiver position when they traded Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans last week. The departure of their #1 option came in addition to Gabe Davis signing with the Jaguars earlier on in free agency, and leaves Khalil Shakir as the only wideout on the roster who caught more than 15 passes for Buffalo in 2023.
And while the team brought in Curtis Samuel via free agency a few weeks back, the wide receiver position is certainly in need of an upgrade before the start of training camp in August. There is plenty of speculation that they’ll address the need during the 2024 NFL Draft, and they have 10 picks in order to do so. But only two of those are in the top-125, meaning they’ll probably have to dip back into the free agent market in order to find an impact-maker for the upcoming campaign.

Which players are left to choose from? Here are three wide receivers that the Bills could still consider signing:
Tyler Boyd
One of the more experienced and accomplished of the remaining wideouts on the free agent market is Tyler Boyd, previously of the Cincinnati Bengals, but he is well removed from his days of being considered as a potential #1 option. He had back-to-back 1,000+ yard seasons back in 2018 and 2019, but has failed to reach that mark ever since. His 2023 season was his least productive since his second year in the league.
Much of the chatter surrounding the 29-year-old Boyd has been about him potentially joining the Pittsburgh Steelers, but there are apparently a handful of teams that are still interested. There hasn’t been any official report about the Bills having interest, but their glaring need for a veteran wideout is rather new.
