NFL analyst says Bills must answer this question in 2024

The story of the Buffalo Bills’ offseason was one of change.

Buffalo brought in six new receivers after releasing Deonte Harty, opting to not pursue Gabe Davis or Trent Sherfield in free agency, and trading Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans. Their reinforcements include second-round pick Keon Coleman, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Curtis Samuel, Chase Claypool, Mack Hollins, and K.J. Hamler.

And while you could argue that the Bills are actually deeper at receiver this season, Bryan DeArdo of CBS Sports says that Buffalo’s top priority needs to be figuring out the pecking order for their new group of receivers.

“Khalil Shakir enters camp as the only Bills player who has caught a pass in a game from quarterback Josh Allen,” DeArdo wrote. “Given that fact, it's safe to say that a huge focus during Bills camp will be Allen's development with his revamped receiving corps. “No, Allen doesn't have much experience with Buffalo's wideouts. But the positive is that the unit has plenty of potential. Rookie Keon Coleman looks like a future star, while Shakir and newcomer Curtis Samuel are solid complementary pieces. Projected backups Mack Hollins and Marquez Valdes-Scantling are proven veterans, with the later coming off back-to-back Super Bowl wins with the Chiefs. There's even been encouraging reports about Chase Claypool, but I'm taking that with a grain of salt.”

The receiver position, and the battles within it, will be one of the larger focal points for fans to keep an eye on throughout training camp and preseason.
