The Buffalo Bills and the wide receiver position. Name two more problematic things.
With the franchise struggling to find a replacement for Stefon Diggs, the elephant in the room has been Buffalo's inability to get Josh Allen a top weapon.
Keon Coleman has struggled, Joshua Palmer and Curtis Samuel aren't the answer, and the Bills enter a new era without Sean McDermott. General manager Brandon Beane has both hands on the wheel.
So, where could the franchise look to solve its receiver issue?
PFF's Mason Cameron has an idea, but it doesn't seem feasible - Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Mike Evans.
"The Bills' lack of quality depth at outside receiver limited their offensive output, particularly when injuries mounted late in the year," Cameron wrote. "Add in their limited capability to stretch the field vertically – recording the sixth fewest receptions on throws of 20 or more yards – and Evans profiles as a strong upgrade to Josh Allen’s core of weapons."

Are Bills a realistic option?
Given Evans' standing within the Buccaneers' organization, you get the sense that there are only two possible options for 2026.
Either Evans stays with Tampa Bay, likely on reduced money. Or he retires.
The thought of him on another team just isn't feasible. Not to say it won't happen, but Evans has so much history with the franchise that moving on to another team for a shot at a Super Bowl likely wouldn't sit well with fans.
It's a nice idea, but it is just that. An idea.
