Following yet another postseason loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, this time in the AFC Championship game, the Buffalo Bills will look to make the necessary move to advance. The Bills are likely to target the receiving room this offseason. Khalil Shakir improved significantly in the slot this season, while youngster Keon Coleman showed sparks, but veterans Mack Hollins and Amari Cooper are set to go, raising concerns about Shakir’s sustainability as a number one target.
The Bills could go in-sDavante Adamstate for assistance, as their divisional opponent, the New York Jets, may be looking to transfer a key target. has two years left on his deal, but it is widely expected that the Jets would release him before the start of free agency to save the $35.64 million he is owed. With the team announcing Aaron Rodgers’ departure, it becomes doubtful Adams would return to the club.
Last year, the Bills were thought to be interested in Adams, but he was eventually traded to the Jets. The Bills ultimately turned to the deal that brought them Cooper, implying that the franchise had high aspirations for Adams to play a vital role in a potential Super Bowl run.
In October, FOX Sports pundit Colin Cowherd speculated about a possible Adams-Bills pairing. He portrayed the six-time Pro Bowler, three-time All-Pro, and Josh Allen as a perfect fit. “How could you even consider then other teams if the Bills reached out to you?” Cowherd rhetorically questioned Adams on his show.
Adams has surpassed 1,000 yards in six of his previous seven seasons, with his only exception being a 997-yard effort in 12 games in 2019. Adams has led the NFL in receiving touchdowns two of the last five years, and he scored his 100th this season. Adams may work well with Shakir and Coleman, and his presence would relieve a lot of burden on Shakir, since the secondary would most likely be focused on Adams, who has 11,000 yards.
