There's a generally accepted belief that the Buffalo Bills need to trade for a wide receiver before the NFL trade deadline arrives on Nov. 4.
The main question becomes: Who?
One name that has popped up in recent reports and rumors as being available in a deal is New Orleans Saints speedster Rashid Shaheed.
He could make a lot of sense for Buffalo.
This is how NFL analyst Adam Levitan summed up his thoughts on Shaheed in a Sunday morning post on X:
"Rashid Shaheed will be a free agent after this season, and will be 28 years old ahead of 2026. Understand why Saints could move him. Short-term rental to #Bills makes plenty of sense. A new Gabe Davis for Josh Allen, except actually good."

The Bills' WR corps is led by Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman. Josh Palmer, a key offseason signing, hasn't been great and is currently injured.
Buffalo needs more of a threat out wide to make things just a tad easier for superstar quarterback Josh Allen.
Shaheed averages 15.4 yards per catch in his career. He's a true deep threat.
His best season was 2023, when he had 46 catches for 719 yards and five touchdowns.
Shaheed battled injuries last year.
This season, through seven games, Shaheed has 30 catches for 356 yards and two TDs.
Shaheed isn't a star, but he's solid and explosive, and he could definitely make the Bills better.
