Bills Shut Down Keon Coleman Trade Talks, Give WR a 2026 'Reset'

Buffalo's stance signals a clean-slate tryout for the third-year receiver under a crowded depth chart.

Overview

  • GM Brandon Beane said on Monday that Buffalo rejected trade inquiries for Keon Coleman between the NFL Combine and the owners meetings and he called 2026 a reset for the receiver.
  • Head coach Joe Brady told Coleman he starts fresh with the new staff and voiced strong faith in him after early offseason work.
  • The Bills traded for veteran DJ Moore in March and drafted UConn’s Skyler Bell in the fourth round, setting up open competition for snaps in training camp.
  • Coleman is coming off a rocky 2025 that included four healthy scratches, fines for tardiness, and a 38-404-4 stat line, which fueled speculation after owner Terry Pegula’s January critique of the pick.
  • Off the field, reports say Coleman began training with former Bills receiver Stevie Johnson and he announced May youth camps in Buffalo, Toronto, and Rochester as he works to rebuild his role.
