The Buffalo Bills took a significant step in addressing their receiver issues by signing DJ Moore in free agency. With Moore now at the top of the depth chart, Josh Allen gains a formidable No. 1 target to bolster the offense.
Behind Moore, the Bills have Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Joshua Palmer, and Tyrell Shavers. The question is, will this depth be enough to support a deep playoff run?
Some might argue it’s a solid lineup, but there's a compelling case for adding more firepower. Enter Juju Smith-Schuster, a name floated by many as a potential addition.
While his days of catching 100 passes and racking up over 1,400 yards might be behind him, Smith-Schuster remains a seasoned veteran. Just a few years ago, in 2022, he caught 78 passes for 933 yards and three touchdowns with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Notably, he won’t hit 30 until November, suggesting he still has plenty left in the tank.
Bringing in Smith-Schuster would be akin to a Brandin Cooks-style move-a veteran presence on a budget-friendly deal. However, his recent stats raise questions.
Over the past three seasons, he hasn't surpassed 350 receiving yards or scored more than two touchdowns in a season. What role could he realistically play as perhaps the third or fourth receiver?
There’s potential for a resurgence with Josh Allen and offensive coordinator Joe Brady at the helm, but how confident can the Bills be in such a turnaround?
Adding Smith-Schuster could be a savvy move, but whether the Bills see it as more than just a good idea remains to be seen.
