The Buffalo Bills have been officially eliminated from the sweepstakes for star wide receiver AJ Brown following a blockbuster trade, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Reports indicated that the Bills were among several teams actively monitoring the situation in Tennessee as Brown sought a new contract or a change of scenery. However, per @RapSheet, the completion of a trade involving the Pro Bowl receiver has officially knocked Buffalo out of contention for his services.
The Bills, led by general manager Brandon Beane, have been aggressive in looking for ways to improve an already potent offense. While Buffalo was considered a potential landing spot for a high-end playmaker like Brown to pair with quarterback Josh Allen, they will now have to look toward other avenues to supplement their receiving corps. The Bills had been frequently linked to high-profile targets this offseason, but this latest movement clarifies their standing in the veteran wide receiver market.
