Justin Jefferson-To-Buffalo Bills Trade Rumor Has NFL Fans Buzzing
This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
Trade rumors are getting NFL fans excited. People are now talking about the Buffalo Bills possibly trading for Minnesota Vikings star wide receiver Justin Jefferson. Many Bills fans love the idea, but it also brings concerns about how much the team would have to give up.
Buffalo is still looking for a true No. 1 receiver after trading Stefon Diggs. Quarterback Josh Allen still plays at a very high level, but the team needs a reliable star target. Jefferson would fill that role better than almost any receiver in the league.
However, Minnesota controls the situation. Jefferson is under contract until 2028, so the Vikings have no reason to trade him. Still, fans and analysts continue to talk about the possibility because big trade ideas always create excitement.
Alex Brasky of Buffalo Bills on SI explained why the idea makes sense for Buffalo. “A trade for the former All-Pro would solve the Bills’ woes at one of the most important positions in football,” Brasky wrote. “Allen has been desperately craving a top-tier pass catcher on the outside, and Jefferson would fulfill that role as one of the most dynamic WRs in all of football.”
Brasky also pointed out the likely price. He believes the Bills would need to offer at least one first-round pick and several other assets to get a deal done. That steep cost sits at the center of the debate.
Fans Split On Possible Jefferson’s Price
Bills fans quickly jumped into the conversation once the rumors spread. Many supporters love the thought of pairing Jefferson with Allen. Others worry about giving up too much to make it happen.
Some fans think running back James Cook would need to join the trade package. That idea has drawn strong reactions.
“Not worth it,” one fan said. “Look for a decent free agent that won’t cost us everything and draft somebody.”

Another fan pushed back even harder. “Cook coming off a NFL rushing title and still young is worth 1 first and second alone right now, Jefferson is very good but he is also not Jerry Rice,” the fan wrote.
Dude you really need to find something else to do with your time. Teams would not even give up that much for an elite QB

Other fans feel the move makes perfect sense. “Justin Jefferson to the Bills makes so much sense,” another supporter commented.

Jefferson himself has not shown any desire to leave Minnesota. He publicly backed his teammates and quarterback J.J. McCarthy after the 2025 season.
“That’s not my job,” Jefferson told ESPN when asked about roster decisions. “Of course I would love for him to be here. I would love for him to be the quarterback.”
The Vikings star continues to support his team. Minnesota continues to control his future. The Bills continue to search for offensive help.
For now, the trade scene remains only in talks. But NFL history proves big surprises happen every year.
