Recent back-to-back losses to the Patriots and Falcons have exposed key weaknesses in the offense.

As the trade deadline nears, the Bills are exploring options to give QB Josh Allen more weapons.

Reports suggest Tennessee Titans WR Calvin Ridley could be a realistic trade target.

[{"selector":"#anim-a73f11a0-389a-474c-bf4f-26774b63292b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3eea1b07-80df-4a58-9608-7e28a0f448f4","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 125.19433%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Ridley, 30, is currently battling a hamstring injury but has posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons.

The Bills’ top receiver, TE Dalton Kincaid, leads with only 287 yards — highlighting the need for a WR upgrade.

Ridley is on a four-year, $92 million deal, but Buffalo could opt out after 2025 if it doesn’t work out.

[{"selector":"#anim-79f7665f-10ab-4f86-a07e-4be08b4ff6cf","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d90c63e7-14dd-4fa1-b732-c7e1b013f6c2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 131.77868%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

This season, Ridley has 16 catches for 290 yards in six games, though he hasn’t scored yet.

His proven production and short-term flexibility make him a smart, low-risk addition for Buffalo.

Trading for Ridley could give Josh Allen the reliable playmaker he needs to push the Bills into championship form.
