Bills-Vikings massive trade pitch sees Buffalo break bank to acquire generational $140 million WR originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
It’s remarkable that the Buffalo Bills were one game-changing play away from advancing to the AFC Championship game last year.
Why? Khalil Shakur was Buffalo’s No. 1 receiving option, which isn’t exactly an ideal scenario for a legitimate Super Bowl contender. The Boise State product finished the year with 72 receptions, 719 yards, and four touchdowns, which is solid, but not great for a go-to weapon.
Trading for D.J. Moore in March was a step in the right direction, but the Bills' WR room is still nowhere near where it needs to be. Perhaps Buffalo should consider Bleacher Report’s Alex Kay’s monster trade idea, as it would see them break the bank for a generational Minnesota Vikings wide receiver.
“The Minnesota Vikings have built their offense around Justin Jefferson, but they haven't found much playoff success even with the superstar receiver making some herculean efforts,” Kay wrote Wednesday. “During Jefferson's six years in the Twin Cities, the Vikings have made the playoffs just twice and failed to win a game during either trip.”
