Bills Zero In on No. 1 Receiver, With A.J. Brown Talk Dominating Options

Analysts highlight A.J. Brown as a potential blockbuster target, with cap hurdles complicating any move.

Overview

  • The Bills are widely expected to pursue a major upgrade at wide receiver, with Khalil Shakir cited as the only trusted option currently under contract.
  • USA Today’s Ayrton Ostly predicts Buffalo will trade for Eagles star A.J. Brown, a scenario complicated by Buffalo being reported $8.2 million over the cap and Brown’s sizable 2026 charge.
  • Eagles coach Nick Sirianni and GM Howie Roseman declined to rule out a Brown deal, and reporting has referenced an asking price of a first-rounder plus a top-100 pick.
  • NBC SportsMatthew Berry linked Buffalo to veteran free agents Mike Evans and Rashid Shaheed, noting Evans’ elite career production, last season’s collarbone injury, and a projected multi-year price tag.
  • A separate proposal from The Athletic’s Joe Buscaglia floated a trade for the BearsDJ Moore for mid-round picks, framing it as a cap-manageable alternative rather than a reported negotiation.
