Bills GM Says 'There's No Trade Coming' amid Deebo Samuel, Tee Higgins Rumors

Andrew Peters

The Buffalo Bills are not interested in a pair of wide receivers on the trade block, general manager Brandon Beane said, per The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia.

"The cap is the cap," Beane said. "There's no trade coming. I know everyone wants to link us to every trade in the league."

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel and Cincinnati Bengals wideout Tee Higgins have both been mentioned frequently in trade rumors, and the Bills could use some help at the position, but Beane isn't interested in a trade given Buffalo's salary cap situation.

There was speculation that San Francisco would move on from Samuel this offseason, and the 49ers drafting wide receiver Ricky Pearsall in the first round added to that buzz.

Many expected a trade sometime during the draft for San Francisco to potentially move up, but after not trading Samuel on Day 1, general manager John Lynch "didn't entertain" trade talks on Day 2.

"We didn't entertain any of that today," Lynch told reporters. "We're happy with our wide receiver group. Actually, more than happy. We're thrilled with it. And thrilled to add Ricky to it to make it stronger."

While the 49ers didn't budge during the draft, they could still look to move Samuel before the season begins. If they choose not to, they will have a loaded wide receiver room next season.

A Higgins trade has been in the making for a while now. The Bengals used a franchise tag on him, prompting a trade request from the fourth-year player. While Samuel could remain with the 49ers, it seems inevitable Higgins will be on his way out of Cincinnati at one point or another.

The Bills are desperate for wide receivers after losing Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis this offseason, but they aided their needs by drafting Florida State wide receiver Keon Coleman in the second round.

Buffalo's wide receiver room could still use some work, but landing Coleman is a step in the right direction.
