Bills Expected to Trade $24M WR Curtis Samuel Amid Roster Moves

The Buffalo Bills are actively considering trading wide receiver Curtis Samuel, who has struggled with injuries and limited production since joining the team, to create roster space and reduce salary cap commitments. Multiple sources suggest that Samuel could be packaged with a draft pick to land a conditional later-round pick, as several teams are seeking receiver help. The Bills' wide receiver room is competitive, with players like Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Elijah Moore, and Joshua Palmer positioned ahead of Samuel, while Tyrell Shavers and Laviska Shenault are valued for their special teams contributions. Alongside these moves, the Bills signed running back Jarveon Howard and veteran receiver Gabe Davis, while making other roster adjustments ahead of the NFL's roster cutdown deadline. Despite being Super Bowl favorites, the Bills showed a disappointing preseason performance, prompting speculation about further roster upgrades such as acquiring Bengals pass rusher Trey Hendrickson, although salary cap constraints present challenges. General manager Brandon Beane is expected to maneuver trades and roster decisions to strengthen the team for the 2025 season.
