When the Buffalo Bills drafted Keon Coleman with the first pick of the second round in the 2024 NFL Draft, they thought they found the answer to their wide receiver problems. But NFL Draft busts are not new, and that’s the ongoing situation with Coleman. Only Bills owner Terry Pegula popped up in a 53-minute press conference on Wednesday to make it much worse. It’s a sentiment former NFL player Booger McFarland has echoed.

“Speaking of Terry Pegula, here’s a question for you,” McFarland inquired, appearing on the Dan Patrick Show on Thursday. “If you’re Keon Coleman and you just heard the owner and the GM basically say that we don’t want you, how do you show up to work in that building? Or do you? Or do you ask for a trade? How do you think the whole Keon Coleman thing works out?”

McFarland was referring to the moment from the press conference where Pegula mentioned that the coaching staff pushed to draft Coleman, and then-general manager Brandon Beane was only being a team player by listening to the coaches. Pegula later also confirmed that the coach in question was not Sean McDermott.

Responding to McFarland’s questions, Patrick stated, “I would lay low for a little while, but I would realize that my days are numbered. I would ask the GM to find another location for me.”

McFarland couldn’t help but agree with Patrick. That said, they were also surprised that the Bills could barely agree on whose decision it was to draft Coleman. So, right now, it looks like it’s a matter of when the player gets traded and not if.

It goes without saying that it would be a loss for Buffalo’s offense. But there were also some concerns regarding the player.

He signed a four-year, $10 million contract in 2024 and made a promising rookie start. But his contribution took a hit because of a hand injury. He finished that season with 29 receptions for 556 yards and four touchdowns. Later on, he showed signs of development in camp. It was exciting to watch him open the 2025 season against Baltimore with eight catches for 112 yards and one TD. But his career was barely on track after that.

Not only did his production numbers fall, but disciplinary issues increased.

He had to sit out Week 5 owing to that. All in all, he was disciplined twice this season for showing up late to meetings. Beane had also acknowledged that the player needed to mature, but it seems like the team is now ready to pull the trigger on him.

The Las Vegas Raiders, the New Orleans Saints, the Cleveland Browns, and the Denver Broncos are some possible destinations for Coleman.

While the Bills seem mentally prepared to lose an offensive piece, they have another player to focus on. It is Josh Allen. The star quarterback might undergo surgery.

Josh Allen’s superhero act came with a cost!

Josh Allen tried to play superhero again this season, and it didn’t end well. The quarterback first hurt his right foot in a Week 16 win over the Cleveland Browns, which aggravated in Week 17. It lingered, and by the time Buffalo reached the postseason, Allen was managing more than just one issue.

In the wild-card win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, he was also dealing with problems in his left knee and his right finger. Before the Bills faced Denver, NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport reported that Allen’s foot injury from the Browns game was improving, but it was still there. Now, General Manager Brandon Beane acknowledged that Allen may need surgery on the right foot.

“He could have to have something done to his foot, potentially here soon,” Beane said. “But it would not impact OTA stuff if he does.”

Beane was careful with his wording, saying that if a procedure is required, it would not affect Allen’s availability for organized team activities in the offseason. What Beane did not provide was a timeline.

Josh Allen said he felt good in the days leading up to Buffalo’s matchup with the Denver Broncos. But watching the game told a different story. He struggled to protect the ball, accounting for four of the Bills’ five turnovers, and looked shaky all night. Even then, the quarterback finished with 283 passing yards and three touchdowns.

Over the regular season, Allen put together another productive year. He threw for 3,668 yards and 25 touchdowns while working with a receiving group that lacked a true top-end presence.

Buffalo did not have a 1,000-yard receiver this season. The last time they did was in 2023, when Stefon Diggs was still filling that role.

All of this leads to the same conclusion the Bills have reached before. Getting Josh Allen fully healthy before the next season begins has to be the priority. Buffalo can’t afford another slow start with a quarterback who is trying to win a Super Bowl.
