This week's PFR mailbag covers a number of trade-related questions ahead of the upcoming deadline as well as an inquiry tied to a quirk in the NFL rulebook.
Jason asks:
Are the Bills going to land a receiver at the deadline this year? When compared with what the Chiefs now have there, they seem shorthanded in that area.
Talk about Buffalo adding at the deadline has increasingly pointed in this direction. That comes as no surprise, given the impact seen from the receiver spot so far. Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Josh Palmer have combined to average only 128 receiving yards per game in 2025. A strong running attack can offset much of that low-end production, but an upgrade would be a logical target in the coming days.
Rashid Shaheed’s name has been floated for quite some time and the Bills are among the teams which have been (at least loosely) connected to him. The Saints are treating the remainder of the season as an audition period for rookie quarterback Tyler Shough so a number of pending free agents could be on the move shortly.
It’s a bit amusing to see the extent that the Chiefs have gotten into the heads of the Bills mafia. If Buffalo isn’t careful they could get blindsided by someone else.
