Buffalo, NY – October 15, 2025

The Buffalo Bills are making a major move to strengthen their offense, reportedly reaching a verbal agreement with a proven veteran wide receiver ahead of Week 8. According to multiple league insiders, the deal is in its final stages and expected to be completed before the Bills take the field next weekend.

Negotiations have been ongoing quietly for several days, with the player’s representatives and Buffalo’s front office finalizing contract language and performance incentives. Team sources describe the addition as a “strategic upgrade” meant to stabilize the passing game and give Josh Allen another dependable target downfield.

That player is none other than Las Vegas Raiders star Jakobi Meyers, a 5,000-yard receiver known across the league for his precise route running, consistency, and competitive toughness. Buffalo sees him as the ideal complement to its current receiving corps, especially as the offense looks to rediscover its rhythm following several uneven weeks.

“This is exactly the kind of receiver Buffalo’s been missing,” an AFC executive shared. “He’s smart, dependable, and brings a veteran calm that quarterbacks love. Josh Allen will thrive with a player like that.”

Meyers, who quietly crossed the 5,000-yard career milestone earlier this season, has averaged over 65 receptions per year since 2020 — proof of his reliability in short-to-intermediate routes and ability to move the chains when defenses tighten up. For Buffalo, that’s a vital skill set as they continue to battle for position in a competitive AFC East.

Sources close to the discussions suggest the agreement will be a short-term, incentive-based contract, offering Meyers a chance to showcase his value while giving the Bills flexibility heading into 2026.

If finalized as expected, the deal could become official before the team’s next game, setting up a potential Week 8 debut that would immediately boost Buffalo’s offensive potential.

As one insider put it,

“This isn’t just a signing — it’s a message. The Bills are serious about staying in the fight.”
