Bills on Verge of Landing Raiders Field-Stretcher WR for Josh Allen with Trade Deadline Approaching
Buffalo, NY – October 2, 2025
The Buffalo Bills are on the cusp of making a major move at the NFL trade deadline. After a 4-0 start, the team is preparing to add a field-stretcher to balance Josh Allen’s passing attack.
Buffalo has thrived offensively, ranking second in points scored, but the lack of a true vertical weapon has been evident. Boundary receivers have combined for just 341 yards and one touchdown through four games.
With the trade deadline nearing, reports indicate that the Bills are finalizing talks with an AFC West team to acquire a proven playmaker. The deal would involve mid-round draft compensation and could be completed within days.
That player is Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, who requested a trade before the season and is now seen as an ideal fit for Buffalo. On an expiring deal, Meyers has already logged 21 catches for 258 yards.
The proposed exchange would send a fifth-round pick to Las Vegas, giving Buffalo a receiver capable of stretching defenses and filling the void left by Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis last season.
For the Raiders, currently bottom of the AFC West, the move makes sense financially and strategically. They clear cap space, gain draft capital, and part ways with a veteran unlikely to stay long-term.
Offensive coordinator Joe Brady has hinted at expanding Joshua Palmer’s role in recent weeks, but adding Meyers would immediately elevate Buffalo’s depth chart and bring balance to the “everybody eats” philosophy.
If completed, the trade would mark the Bills’ second consecutive year making a deadline splash at receiver — but this time, the addition looks far more aligned with Josh Allen’s deep-ball strengths.
