Throughout the offseason, there was consistent chatter that the Buffalo Bills needed to give quarterback Josh Allen another reliable receiver — even after they brought in Josh Palmer during free agency.

General manager Brandon Beane appeared frustrated with media criticism over the team’s decision not to select a top-tier receiver in the draft. It’s understandable, considering the Bills’ offense put up 30.9 points per game last season despite lacking a clear-cut No. 1 wideout.

Instead, Buffalo succeeded using a receiver-by-committee strategy and still ranked among the league’s most potent offenses.

Then came the announcement that the team had signed former Browns receiver Elijah Moore to a one-year contract — adding another piece to the offensive puzzle.

Many assumed this move would rule out a potential reunion with former Bill Amari Cooper. However, according to NFL.com’s Kevin Patra, Buffalo might still want to consider bringing Cooper back.

Patra writes: “The Bills haven’t shown much interest in reuniting with Cooper after a disappointing 2024, but they still need help at receiver — even if that suggestion might annoy Brandon Beane. Moore’s addition doesn’t solve everything. Cooper already knows the system and has some chemistry with Josh Allen. If Beane was once willing to trade picks for him, why not consider re-signing him for a bargain?”

We were already questioning whether the Bills truly needed another wide receiver — even before they brought Elijah Moore on board.

Now, with the former Jets and Browns receiver joining the roster, Buffalo’s receiving corps includes Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Curtis Samuel, Josh Palmer, and Moore. That’s five capable receivers, not even counting tight ends Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox, who are also key targets in the passing game.

It’s important to remember there’s only one ball to go around. Adding Amari Cooper would bring the total to six receivers, and realistically, not all of them would get significant playing time.

So while the idea of adding Cooper might have made some sense earlier, Moore’s signing makes that move even harder to justify.

Sure, there’s the common argument that you can never have too many weapons, but for Josh Allen — last season’s MVP — how many more does he really need?
