Bills Eye Receiver and Defensive Line Moves Before Deadline

With the NFL trade deadline on Nov. 4, the Buffalo Bills have contacted the Saints about Chris Olave and the Raiders about Jakobi Meyers as they seek to upgrade a receiving corps that has struggled to create separation. League reports indicate New Orleans is expected to keep Olave while Las Vegas has set a high asking price for Meyers, making trades difficult and costly. Buffalo’s receiving production has been underwhelming — Khalil Shakir leads the team with 31 catches for 356 yards while Keon Coleman and Joshua Palmer have not progressed — prompting GM Brandon Beane to re-engage the market. The Bills also lost Pro Bowl defensive tackle Ed Oliver to a season-ending biceps injury, shifting urgency to adding interior defensive-line help. Analysts and team sources have suggested veteran Sebastian Joseph-Day and trade-requested McKinnley Jackson as potential targets, but medical concerns, steep asking prices and salary-cap/roster costs complicate any moves before the deadline.
