The Buffalo Bills should look to give wide receiver Keon Coleman a fresh start after a tumultuous 2025 season, and the Minnesota Vikings could be a possible destination.
FanSided's Austen Bundy predicts the Vikings will be Coleman's next team as he prepares for a make-or-break 2026 season. "Coleman could get a new lease on his career and demonstrate he's still an elite prospect while Buffalo recoups value and Beane can select the guy he actually wants," Bundy said. During his rookie year in 2024, Coleman showed promise, posting 556 yards and four touchdowns.

A split would be beneficial for Coleman and the Bills, and the Vikings could be a logical landing spot for the young receiver Minnesota has a need for receiver depth behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison after the departure of Jalen Nailor in free agency to the Las Vegas Raiders . Coleman would fill that need, but the 22-year-old would also receive the chance to compete for the No.
