Speculation around the NFL continues to swirl as several of the league’s top contenders evaluate whether a move for a wide receiver could reshape their championship outlook. Reports suggest not to rule out the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, Green Bay Packers, or San Francisco 49ers as potential buyers should the right opportunity arise.
Buffalo has faced lingering questions at receiver since Stefon Diggs departed. Khalil Shakir has flashed ability but remains unproven as a primary option. Keon Coleman and Joshua Palmer are still establishing themselves as reliable outside threats. The Bills have leaned heavily on Josh Allen’s improvisation, but another proven target could provide the stability the passing game has lacked.
Kansas City is also in search of answers. Patrick Mahomes opened the season without Rashee Rice, suspended for six games, and Xavier Worthy has already missed time due to injury. That has reignited conversations about whether the team should explore outside options. While a reunion with Tyreek Hill is complicated by contract factors, the need for veteran speed and playmaking remains evident for the defending AFC champions.
Green Bay made headlines before the season by acquiring pass rusher Micah Parsons, a move that reshaped the defense. Yet questions remain at receiver, where Romeo Doubs enters the final year of his contract. Doubs has produced consistently, but may be a trade candidate if the Packers prefer to recoup draft capital. At the same time, the front office could choose to keep him to aid Jordan Love’s pursuit of a deep postseason run.
San Francisco is battling injuries and uncertainty at wideout. Brandon Aiyuk’s return has been delayed, Jauan Jennings remains sidelined, and rookie Ricky Pearsall is still unproven. That has pushed the 49ers into the trade conversation as Kyle Shanahan looks for a player who can stretch defenses and give Brock Purdy more consistent weapons.
With the deadline approaching, NFL teams with Super Bowl aspirations must weigh short-term needs against long-term costs. Whether it is Buffalo searching for balance, Kansas City seeking explosiveness, Green Bay eyeing value, or San Francisco targeting depth, the wide receiver market could define the stretch run of the 2025 season.
