Vikings-Bills trade pitch would send $10 million receiver from Buffalo to Minnesota

The Buffalo Bills should look to give wide receiver Keon Coleman a fresh start after a tumultuous 2025 season, and the Minnesota Vikings could be a possible destination.

FanSided's Austen Bundy predicts the Vikings will be Coleman's next team as he prepares for a make-or-break 2026 season.

"Coleman could get a new lease on his career and demonstrate he's still an elite prospect while Buffalo recoups value and Beane can select the guy he actually wants," Bundy said.

During his rookie year in 2024, Coleman showed promise, posting 556 yards and four touchdowns. However, 2025 didn't go well, as the Florida State product was a healthy scratch in a few games and has fallen out of the Bills' future plans.

A split would be beneficial for Coleman and the Bills, and the Vikings could be a logical landing spot for the young receiver

Minnesota has a need for receiver depth behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison after the departure of Jalen Nailor in free agency to the Las Vegas Raiders. Coleman would fill that need, but the 22-year-old would also receive the chance to compete for the No. 3 receiver spot with the Vikings and earn significant playing time.

Additionally, Coleman will not cost much to trade for, as a Day 3 pick should get a deal done with Buffalo.

Taking a flyer on Coleman makes all the sense in the world for Minnesota. The move would come with little risk, and if Coleman can land on his feet with the Vikings, Kevin O'Connell's offense would have another dynamic playmaker for Kyler Murray or J.J. McCarthy, depending on who wins the starting quarterback job.
