Ravens Named Potential Suitors for Bills Wide Receiver, Bears Tight End if They’re Traded

ESPN analysts identified a handful of players who could be on the trade block and speculated on which teams might have interest, as well as what offers could look like.

The Ravens were named potential suitors for Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman and Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet.

Jeremy Fowler proposed the Ravens send a 2027 fifth-round pick to the Bills for Coleman.

“Buffalo seems content with keeping Coleman, but Baltimore can jump into the fray to improve its thin receiver depth,” Fowler wrote. “Coleman’s play style should fit with Jackson, as he’s a big receiver with catch radius.”

One could argue that the Ravens aren’t lacking depth at wide receiver, especially after they selected two in this year’s NFL Draft. But it is fair to say they could use another wide receiver with experience, even if it’s only a couple of seasons. While he’s just 23, Coleman has played in 26 games the past two seasons, including 18 starts, and has 67 catches for 960 yards and eight touchdowns.

After starters Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman, the Ravens’ next wide receivers on the depth chart are Devontez Walker (seven catches over two seasons); rookies Ja’Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt; and LaJohntay Wester, who was used almost exclusively on special teams as a rookie. Lane and Sarratt are big-bodied receivers in the same mold as Coleman.

Regarding Kmet, Dan Graziano’s proposal had the Ravens offering a 2028 third-round pick for the 27-year-old.

“The Ravens get some badly needed help at a position that was hollowed out by the departures of Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar,” Graziano wrote.

While Kmet seems like a good fit because he would be reunited with Offensive Coordinator Declan Doyle, who was the Bears’ OC last season, the Ravens have already bolstered the tight ends room this offseason.

They double-dipped at the position in the draft (Matt Hibner and Josh Cuevas) and signed another former Bears tight end in Durham Smythe to add depth behind starter Mark Andrews.
