After winning the first four games of the 2025 NFL season, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills have lost two straight, falling to the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons, raising concerns about whether this team is a legitimate Super Bowl title contender.
With the Patriots looking like a formidable opponent in the AFC East this season, the Bills can’t afford to slide too far down the division standings, especially after having one loss to New England.
That said, the Bills could be an active team ahead of the NFL trade deadline on Nov. 4. Buffalo has a little more than a week to decide what moves can be made to improve its football team, and it appears the franchise wants to bring in another target for Allen at wide receiver.
Chris Olave Not Expected to be Moved Ahead of NFL Trade Deadline

One trade target at wide receiver that makes a lot of sense for the Bills is veteran wide receiver Chris Olave of the New Orleans Saints, who has been rumored to be on the move ahead of the trade deadline, potentially.
However, according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the Saints are not expected to trade Olave before Nov. 4.
Olave would give the Bills another weapon downfield. He could make the passing game in Buffalo that much more prolific, but if the Saints are reluctant to move him, it might be a lost cause.
With the Saints headed in the wrong direction once again this season and no telling when they might turn it around in the future, Olave is bound to be getting a little frustrated with his situation in the Big Easy. There’s always a chance he asked to be traded and is intrigued with the possibility of catching passes from Allen with the Bills.
In seven games played this season, Olave has caught 44 passes for 440 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
Intriguing Wide Receiver Trade Candidates for Bills

If Olave is officially off the table for the Bills, there are a couple of other intriguing trade candidates at wide receiver in the NFL ahead of the deadline.
Jakobi Meyers, Las Vegas Raiders
The Raiders can’t seem to get it together during the 2025 campaign, with Pete Carroll and company looking lost and unable to right the ship in Las Vegas despite all the changes made within the organization.
Even before the season began, Jakobi Meyers wasn’t happy with his situation regarding a new deal with the team and asked to be traded. He has yet to have that request granted, but he’d be a good fit in Buffalo if the Bills can convince the Raiders brass to make the move.
Calvin Ridley, Tennessee Titans
With the Titans starting over with rookie Cam Ward under center, Calvin Ridley might have to wait for quite some time before he’s in a winning situation in Tennessee.
That said, he might be motivated to force his way out, and the team might be willing to make that happen, considering the rebuilding phase it’s in.
Either one of these veteran wide receivers would be an ideal candidate for the Bills. It remains to be seen if either wideout lands in Buffalo or if the team has other plans in mind ahead of Nov. 4.
