The case has been made for the Buffalo Bills to attempt a trade for wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk.
In need of another playmaker on offense, the San Francisco 49ers wideout could fit the bill.
Our friends at the NFL Wire made the case for five different trades that should go down in the league this offseason. Among them was the idea of Buffalo landing Aiyuk.
Aiyuk, 25, is entering the prime of his career and is a versatile weapon. This past season, Aiyuk put up 75 catches for a career-high 1,342 yards with seven touchdowns.
In a scenario where Aiyuk ended up on the Bills, that likely means receiver Gabe Davis leaves during free agency. Aiyuk would certainly be a huge upgrade on Davis and the idea of him paired with current Bills receiver and quarterback, Stefon Diggs and Josh Allen respectively, is an exciting one.
The biggest issue here would be compensation. The thought of acquiring Aiyuk does come with a high price tag, but the argument is a compelling one.
Here’s how NFL Wire breaks down the Aiyuk to Buffalo idea, along with four other trade suggestions for teams in the league:

- Detroit Lions receive: EDGE Khalil Mack
- Los Angeles Chargers receive: 2024 fifth-round pick, 2025 fourth-round pick
Mack has a whopping $38.5 million cap hit in 2024, and the Chargers need to free up a lot of money. For the Lions, they need another edge rusher opposite of Aidan Hutchinson. The former first-round pick registered 11.5 sacks, and no other player on the Lions’ roster had more than five. Mack is coming off a 17 sack season, and acquiring him would give the Lions another top-notch pass rusher to take away attention from Hutchinson and make their defense that much better. It may not be a king’s ransom in return for the Chargers, but a pair of Day Three picks is better than receiving nothing and just cutting the veteran edge rusher.

- Kansas City Chiefs receive: WR Jahan Dotson
- Washington Commanders receive: 2024 fifth-round pick
This one may come out of left field, but Dotson would be a very fun addition to the Chiefs’ offense.
Patrick Mahomes made chicken salad out of chicken you-know-what with the likes of Kadarius Toney and Richie James. Dotson had a down year after a very promising rookie season in Washington. It wouldn’t be the only move Kansas City would need to make at receiver, but trading a Day Three pick for Dotson is a low risk, high…
