NFL teams have wrapped up most offseason work, but a handful of moves could still come before the regular season. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, A.J. Brown is expected to land with the New England Patriots in June, and ESPN asked four NFL analysts to propose realistic trades for veterans including Bills receiver Keon Coleman.
Coleman, the 33rd pick in 2024, has yet to find consistent production, catching 38 passes for 404 yards in 2025. Bills owner Terry Pegula said the previous coaching staff “pushed to draft” Coleman, though general manager Brandon Beane clarified he “made the pick.” Beane has shut down trade talk, saying the team intends for Coleman to remain in Buffalo and that the Bills have rebuffed teams that reached out, per Bills reporter Alaina Getzenberg. A post-June 1 trade would free $1.7 million in 2026 cap space and just under $2.2 million in 2027.
ESPN analysts proposed four specific offers for Coleman. Jeremy Fowler presented a Baltimore Ravens proposal in which Buffalo would receive a 2027 fifth-round pick and Baltimore would acquire Coleman, an idea presented as a way for the Ravens to add large-bodied receiving depth opposite Lamar Jackson.
Dan Graziano offered a Washington Commanders trade sending Coleman for a 2028 fifth-round pick, framed as a low-cost addition for a unit still seeking targets behind Terry McLaurin. Ben Solak’s Las Vegas Raiders proposal would send Coleman and a 2028 seventh-round pick to the Raiders in exchange for a 2028 fifth-rounder, with the pitch noting Coleman could add a big-framed option to Las Vegas’ receiver group. Seth Walder suggested Atlanta give a 2027 fourth-round pick for Coleman while sending a 2028 sixth-rounder back to Buffalo, highlighting the Falcons’ capacity to take a long-term swing on his upside.
ESPN’s package exercise had NFL Nation reporters act as general managers to judge the offers and either choose a deal or pass. For now, Buffalo leadership maintains Coleman is part of the team’s plans unless circumstances change, according to Getzenberg.
