There are various experienced free agent wide receivers that the Buffalo Bills could sign to assist Josh Allen during a pivotal 2026-27 season.

In Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport's opinion, the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super-Bowl-winning free agent receiver should be at the top of the Bills’ list of potential targets.
“Given that the team entered the offseason in something of a precarious position relative to the salary cap, the Bills actually did a pretty good job of addressing needs in free agency,” Davenport wrote Monday,
“The trade for D.J. Moore gives Josh Allen a badly-needed upgrade at wide receiver, and Buffalo bolstered the pass rush with the signing of edge-rusher Bradley Chubb.”
“With just $12.3 million in cap space per Over the Cap and a rookie class still to sign, any further free agency moves will likely be lower-end additions—like signing another wide receiver to flesh out a room that still needs depth.”
“Juju Smith-Schuster's days of catching 100 passes and topping 1,400 receiving yards are long past him. But it wasn't that long ago (2022) that Smith-Schuster caught 78 passes for 933 yards and three scores with the Kansas City Chiefs, and the 10th-year veteran won't turn 30 until November.”
Smith-Schuster was used sparingly in the Chiefs’ offseason last year, as he only recorded 33 receptions for 345 receiving yards and one touchdown on a Kansas City squad that shockingly missed the postseason.
Still, in the right situation, the former second-round pick could be a serviceable third or fourth receiving option with Buffalo as they attempt to build on their encouraging 2025-26 campaign.
The strong-handed and agile 29-year-old wideout has plenty of juice left in the tank, which could prompt the Bills to sign him while he’s still on the market. Like always, though, time will tell if a move is truly in the cards for the organization.
