on one-year contracts this past week, and they may not be finished signing players who have previously spent time with the team., and when discussing the wide receiver position while addressing the media at the NFL League Meetings, Brandon Beane revealed the veteran may be an option for the team down the road.
“I think kinda what I said, seeing how the draft falls, what our numbers are,” continued the Bills’ president of football operations/general manager. “I think that’s where he’s at too, making sure he doesn’t go somewhere and have a team draft someone.”Buffalo Bills wide receiver Brandin Cooks warms up in the rain before the game against the Philadelphia Eagles at Highmark Stadium. | Gregory Fisher-Imagn Imagesduring his stint with the Bills in 2025, but he offered a downfield presence the team had been lacking before he was added after the trade deadline. He finished his time with the Bills appearing in five regular-season games, averaging 22.8 yards per reception. He added five catches for 78 yards in a couple of playoff games. Buffalo recently brought back WR Trent Sherfield for his second go-around with the team, but that shouldn’t preclude the Bills from re-signing Cooks. Sherfield was likely signed as more of a special teams player than for his potential contribution in the passing game. Elsewhere at the wide receiver position, the Bills are equipped with DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Joshua Palmer, Tyrell Shavers, Mecole Hardman Jr., Stephen Gosnell and Jalen Virgil.

When asked if the team’s trade for Moore would stop them from selecting a top-level pass catcher at pick No. 26 in the first round, Beane was adamant that if the right player were available, the Bills would pounce. If Buffalo elects to draft a wide receiver, it would become more unlikely that we see Cooks back in a Bills uniform next season.
