Buffalo added Joshua Palmer to its wide receiver room, but the latest trade rumors hint the Bills are still looking to upgrade the position. The Buffalo Bills signed wide receiver Joshua Palmer to a three-year, $29 million contract early in free agency. The rumor mill hasn’t stopped spinning, however, and now it sounds like general manager Brandon Beane may be trying to land another high-profile offensive playmaker. Matt Parrino of New York Upstate reported it’s “possible” the Bills make a trade “before or during” the 2025 NFL draft, which begins April 24. Parrino added the names to “monitor” include a pair of wideouts: the New Orleans Saints‘ Chris Olave and Minnesota Vikings‘ Jordan Addison
. If acquired, one of those stars would join Palmer, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Curtis Samuel to give Buffalo one of the league’s deepest receiver groups. Bills Rumors: Chris Olave, Jordan Addison Headline Trade Targets The Case For Chris Olave Olave was on the fast track to superstardom after the Saints selected him with the 11th overall pick in the 2022 draft. The Ohio State product recorded 159 catches for 2,165 yards
and nine touchdowns in 31 appearances across his first two NFL seasons. His concussion history has created uncertainty about his future, though. The receiver suffered a concussion in both 2022 and 2023. He then suffered two more within the first nine weeks of the 2024 campaign. The second one kept him sidelined for the remainder of the season.
Olave explained in his season-ending press conference that he’s felt “regular” since his most recent concussion. That said, he decided to err on the side of caution by remaining sidelined for the second half of 2024 to focus on his “long-term health.” “No symptoms, as far as concussions symptoms since I’ve been hurt,” the 24-year-old California native told reporters in January.
