The worst kept secret in the NFL is that the Buffalo Bills need more weapons for Josh Allen to throw to.

While they will almost certainly address this issue in the draft, they should also look to make at least one move for a depth pass-catcher in free agency. 

This year's free agent class is somewhat top-heavy, but these three players could be effective low-cost options.

Curtis Samuel, Washington Commanders

This one seems to be popular amongst Bills Mafia, and for good reason. Samuel had 62 receptions last year with the Commanders, and can be utilized as a gadget player on offense. Save for an injury-riddled 2021, the Ohio State product has had at least 60 catches in his three previous healthy seasons. Having him as the third or fourth option in the offense would make Buffalo's depth much stronger than it was in 2023.

Tyler Boyd, Cincinnati Bengals

With the Bengals likely giving Tee Higgins the franchise tag, and a potential long-term deal, it's hard to see them also bringing Boyd back into the fold. Boyd would be a slot demon in the Bills' offense. He had 67 receptions in 2023 and averaged 10 yards per reception. Boyd combined with a legitimate No. 2 perimeter receiver would be a very welcome sight.

Odell Beckham Jr, Baltimore Ravens

What could it hurt? Beckham had only 37 catches for the Ravens this year, who undoubtedly paid way too much for him ($15 million with over $13 million in guarantees). However, for someone at this stage in his career, signing Beckham to a cheap one-year deal could pay dividends in a more pass-heavy Bills offense. Best case-scenario, he does to Buffalo what he did to the Rams and helps the Bills win a Super Bowl. Worst case-scenario, he gets traded or released mid-season and the Bills cut their losses.
