The Buffalo Bills’ front office, led by general manager Brandon Beane, has made several good moves – the most important being selecting Josh Allen in the first round of the 2018 draft as their new quarterback. Allen has become not only the face of the franchise but also one of the most important players in the NFL.
Josh Allen is one of the best quarterbacks in the league and is currently the NFL MVP. However, the team has come very close to returning to the Super Bowl for the first time in over 20 years – a goal that still eludes the current leader of the Buffalo Bills.
Buffalo Bills fans booed and cursed after Josh Allen was drafted and the video still stings
Allen has had several near misses in the playoffs, but even so, the team rewarded him with a $330 million contract, including $250 million guaranteed – making him the highest-paid player in NFL history in terms of guaranteed money. However, that contract is now starting to have consequences.
Today, due to salary cap limitations, the Buffalo Bills do not have the means to sign a top-tier NFL receiver – but perhaps they already have one on the roster and just haven’t recognized his value.
Khalil Shakir Led the Team in Receiving Yards in 2024
Despite not having a true number one receiver, the Buffalo Bills averaged 30.9 points per game – thanks in large part to Josh Allen. The team did not have any receiver go over 1,000 yards, yet they still boasted one of the best offenses in the NFL.

Khalil Shakir had his best year in the NFL with 76 receptions, 821 yards, and 4 touchdowns, which led PFF writer Jonathon Macri to name him the most underrated player on the Bills roster.
“Shakir has been a consistent contributor for the Bills’ receiving corps over the past two seasons, and he stepped up significantly in 2024 in the absence of Stefon Diggs, leading the team in targets (115), receiving yards (995), PFF receiving grade (80.1), and yards per route run (2.20). Shakir ranked in the top 25 for the position in all of those categories.”
“He’s also been one of the most effective receivers with the ball in his hands, averaging 7.7 yards after the catch per reception since 2023 – tied for the sixth-best mark among wide receivers.”
Shakir, a fifth-round draft pick, earned a four-year contract extension this offseason with the Bills, and he is now expected to become Josh Allen’s main aerial weapon in 2025 – a season in which the team will once again be Super Bowl contenders.

Bob Pockrass FOX Motorsports Insider <!--> INDIANAPOLIS — All fans need to know about Kyle Larson and how he will handle the second attempt at racing 1,100 miles in one day is how he handled two recent wrecks while preparing for the Indianapolis 500."You see me crash all the time," Larson said Friday after his second crash of his Indianapolis 500 car in the last three weeks.

How Jhonattan Vegas has come out of nowhere to lead the PGA Championship
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Considering he was leading a major for the first time in his career, Jhonattan Vegas woke up a little grumpy Friday morning after a short night of sleep.Already one of the last groups off in Thursday’s first round of the PGA Championship, Vegas had extra media obligations after shooting a 7-under 64 to take the opening-day lead. By the time he cleaned up and ate dinner, Vegas only slept a few hours before getting up for Friday’s 9:01 a.m. tee time.Advertisement“It felt like three hours, but I probably got a little bit more than that,” Vegas said. “It was just hard, right? Especially finishing the way I finished and having to do the media, you kind of stay a little bit wired for a little too long. I got some sleep, but it wasn’t the best.”Vegas can […]

Tyrique George has done enough to start up front against Nottingham Forest, says Enzo Maresca
Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has said he has seen enough from Tyrique George to show that he can start as a striker in Chelsea’s pivotal final league game of the season.Typically deployed as a winger, George played up front in Chelsea’s 1-0 win over Manchester United on Friday, with Nicolas Jackson suspended after being sent off against Newcastle United. It was his first Premier League start for the club.AdvertisementThe 19-year-old was forced to adapt to an unfamiliar role though Maresca was impressed with what he saw.“Very good, very good, brave,” he said when asked after the game about George’s performance. “He was a threat in behind. It was not easy for him because on the other side you had Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw, he was fighting against important defenders. But again we tried to find a solution with a player […]
