DJ Moore Deal Reshapes Bills’ WR Room, Raising Questions About Keon Coleman

Analysts split on Keon Coleman's future following the DJ Moore trade.

Overview

  • The Bills acquired DJ Moore and a 2025 fifth-round pick from the Bears in exchange for a 2026 second-round pick, positioning Moore as Josh Allen’s top target.
  • Team insider Joe Buscaglia reports Buffalo is hopeful Keon Coleman or Joshua Palmer can emerge as a trustworthy No. 3 option this season.
  • Buscaglia also projects Buffalo is more likely to add a veteran receiver or wait until Day 3 of the draft rather than use an early pick at the position.
  • Sports Illustrated’s Mike Kadlick predicts Buffalo could ‘reset’ by trading Coleman, floating the Saints as a potential destination in need of a developmental No. 2 behind Chris Olave.
  • Coleman’s 2025 downturn — 38 catches for 404 yards and four touchdowns with disciplinary benchings for missed team obligations — and public owner criticism have fueled uncertainty even as new coach Joe Brady is described as optimistic about his progress.
