Bills Linked to Massive Trade That Greatly Benefits Josh Allen

The Buffalo Bills are set to enter NFL training camp as one of the top Super Bowl contenders in the league. After making a run to the AFC Championship Game last season and coming up short against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, the Bills are looking to take one more step in 2025.
Josh Allen is fresh off of an MVP season. He put together a masterful performance throughout the 2024 campaign.
While he was elite all year long, it was clear that he needed more help. Buffalo tried to give him that when it acquired veteran star wide receiver Amari Cooper from the Cleveland Browns ahead of the trade deadline. Unfortunately, that move didn't pay off.

That is exactly what one NFL analyst has suggested.
Alex Kay of Bleacher Report has named Buffalo as one of the top dark-horse contenders to acquire Terry McLaurin from the Washington Commanders if they make him available.
"After coming up painfully short in the postseason yet again, the Buffalo Bills had a surprisingly quiet offseason in terms of upgrading their skill-position talent," Kay wrote.
"While the front office is seemingly content letting MVP Josh Allen elevate the smattering of solid but unspectacular receivers currently on the roster, it would still be in Buffalo's best interest to acquire a superstar in the trade market. McLaurin would instantly become Allen's top target and perfectly augment the versatile Khalil Shakir and developing Keon Coleman to form the nucleus of a passing attack that has potential rate among the best in the league."
McLaurin could be the missing piece to the Bills' Super Bowl hopes. He would provide Allen with a true No. 1 wide receiver and would elevate the entire offense to the next level.

During the 2024 season with the Commanders, McLaurin racked up 82 receptions for 1,096 yards and 13 touchdowns. Adding that kind of threat to the offense would make Allen's job much easier.
Of course, acquiring a player of McLaurin's caliber would not come cheap. Buffalo would have to pony up a good trade package to send back to Washington.
All of that being said, this is just and idea at this point. No reports have connected the Bills to discussing a trade for McLaurin. However, it would be a very wise move if it was available.

49ers WR Demarcus Robinson pleads no contest to misdemeanor DUI after allegedly driving more than 100 mph while under the influence
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor DUI charge on Wednesday after police say he was driving more than 100 mph while under the influence of alcohol. Per the Orange County Register, citing the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office, Robinson was sentenced to three years probation and assessed a $390 fine. He's required to complete a series of programs including a hospital and morgue program and a three-month alcohol program. He's prohibited from driving while under the influence of any measurable trace of alcohol. He will not serve jail time. Advertisement As part of his plea, separate charges of driving with a .08% blood-alcohol content or higher and driving without a valid license were dismissed, his attorney, Jacqueline Sparagna told the Register. The plea stems from a Nov. 25 arrest in the Los Angeles suburb of Woodland Hills when Robinson was a member of the Rams. California Highway Patrol officers say they observed a white Dodge sedan driving more than 100 mph on Highway 101 around 5:13 a.m. on a Monday. Per a CHP statement, Robinson was driving the car and identified himself after officers pulled him over. According to the statement, Robinson demonstrated 'objective signs and symptoms of alcohol impairment."

The arrest took place the morning after a Rams home loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, a game in which Robinson caught a touchdown pass. Advertisement After his arrest, Robinson was 'released to a responsible party,' according to CHP. Per the Associated Press, Robinson said after his arrest that it was "a bad look." "I don't want to bring that type of light, or any type of negative energy, toward the team," Robinson said. "Things like that are not natural for me, in my nature, stuff I usually do.' Robinson was formally charged with DUI in January. Robinson played out the season with the Rams and finished with 505 receiving yards and seven touchdowns while playing in all 17 regular-season games. He signed a two-year, $9.5 million contract to join the 49ers in the offseason.

Steelers Legend Proclaims 'Thin Margin of Error' for Rookie QB
Steelers Legend Proclaims 'Thin Margin of Error' for Rookie QB originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As a sixth-round draft pick, Will Howard's chances of eventually becoming the starting quarterback are not great. Advertisement First off, he's already behind the 10-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion, Aaron Rodgers for at least this season. Second, he's going to have to beat Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson to get closer to Rodgers on the depth chart, and per legendary Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, that could be tough. "Will Howard is behind the eight-ball big time in the sense that he was a sixth-rounder," Roethlisberger said on his "Footbahlin" podcast. "Unless he comes out at some point this year, he'd have to play this year. Not just practice. Aaron would have to get hurt; we don't want that, but Will would have to play and play well. Otherwise, they're probably gonna go draft a quarterback high. "When they draft a quarterback high, they're most likely not going to put the sixth-rounder in above a high draft pick ... Will's road is going to be tough here in Pittsburgh, I believe. Unless he gets a chance to get out there and he plays well from the get-go, he's not gonna be able to have hiccups." Advertisement Howard has five year of experience in the college ranks, splitting time between Kansas State and Ohio State, winning a national championship with the Buckeyes last season. But that doesn't always translate to the NFL, especially during a rookie season.
