The NFL offseason is relatively quiet, creating room to consider potential roster improvements through trade proposals. ESPN writers examine possible landing spots for Bears tight end Cole Kmet, Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson, and Giants pass rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux. The focus also includes Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman, whose size and yards-after-catch production stand out, including 7.4 YAC per catch and eight touchdowns in 26 games. Despite the talent, Coleman faced repeated disciplinary benchings and fell out of favor, including a healthy scratch late last season. Owner Terry Pegula’s harsh comments after a coaching change increased speculation of a trade, though no move has occurred yet.
"The trade proposal in question comes from ESPN, where Seth Walder is one of a few writers trying to figure out landing spots for the likes of Bears tight end Cole Kmet (because the Bears are stacked at TE), Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. (because of his potential, even if his career has been injury-marred and disappointing in the extreme to this point), and Giants pass rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux (he's good but falling down the depth chart)."
"There's also Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman. At 6'4" and 215 pounds, Coleman has intriguing size and was a yards after the catch monster in his rookie season, as his 7.4 YAC average would have ranked fifth among all receivers had he reeled in enough catches to qualify. He has eight touchdowns in just 26 NFL games, 67 grabs for 940 yards, and obvious talent heading into his age 23 season. There should be plenty to like there."
"Yet Coleman also repeatedly ran afoul of the Bills coaching staff, getting parked for what were termed as disciplinary reasons multiple times in his first two seasons and falling out of favor despite the shaky state of Buffalo's receiving corps; he was a healthy scratch late last season. There were missed blocks and costly drops, but beyond that it appeared to be chiefly behind the scenes woes keeping Coleman from having a massive impact."
"The fact that Bills owner Terry Pegula took some gross, unwarranted shots at Coleman and Sean McDermott after firing the head coach in a press conference with general manager Brandon Beane fueled speculation the team would trade the young receiver. That hasn't happened yet, but despite new head coach Joe Brady strumming his"
