The Buffalo Bills have plenty of familiar faces back in the mix, but not every piece from last season looks locked in place. With Joe Brady now running the show as head coach and the roster still carrying a heavy load of wide receivers, Buffalo could be staring at another move before the season begins.
That’s where ESPN’s Seth Walder comes in. In a piece built around blockbuster trade ideas still on the table for a few NFL teams, he floated a deal that would send Bills receiver Keon Coleman and a 2028 sixth-round pick to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round pick.
Coleman had already been viewed as a possible trade candidate before Bills owner Terry Pegula took aim at the team’s former coaching staff, not the current front office, for pushing the pick. Walder pointed out that Coleman was taken with the No. 33 pick in 2024 and added, "Coleman has struggled in two NFL seasons, but it was a fairly shocking insult toward a player still on the roster."
If Buffalo is going to move someone from its receiver group, Coleman makes the most sense. He’d also bring value to another team, and Walder sees the Colts as a natural fit.
"Indianapolis needs receiver help," Walder notes. That need only grows with Alec Pierce sidelined after ankle surgery and not yet practicing. Walder also wrote, "The Colts have the promising Josh Downs in the slot, but the depth chart on the outside behind Pierce is rough, with Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Ashton Dulin the likely next options," he adds.
Even with Pierce expected back eventually, the Colts could still use another dependable target. For Buffalo, the idea of dealing Coleman would fit the broader reality of a roster that has a lot of wideouts and wants to keep an eye on the future.

Bills Fans Already Have One Big Concern About The New Stadium
As the Bills build toward life in the new Highmark Stadium, one early point of unease is already coming into focus for fans who have seen the upper deck. Reports of significant visibility issues, especially in the first five to 10 rows of every major section, have sparked concern about how well those seats will actually function in an open-air building meant to hold 60,000 and showcase natural grass, along with the 20-foot-tall broken folding table sculpture that nods to Buffalos game-day identity.
It is the kind of detail that can linger long after the ribbon-cutting, because the Bills are trying to match their new home with a team that still has real expectations attached to it. With coaching changes made, roster additions in place and ESPN listing Buffalo as a joint second favorite to win Super Bowl LXI, the stadium is supposed to feel like part of a bigger push forward.
