ESPN rumor gives Bills 2 WR free agent targets, but warns another is too expensive originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Buffalo Bills enter the offseason with the need at wide receiver blaring in bright, shining lights.
Who will the WR solution be, though? And will it come in the draft, or free agency, or both? That's all still to be answered.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler has thrown out two names in a new article, while also warning that another is too expensive.
"Rival teams expect Buffalo to strongly address wide receiver in the coming weeks," Fowler writes. "And multiple league executives are linking Rashid Shaheed or Romeo Doubs to the Bills. Alec Pierce will most likely be out of their price range."

Pierce is expected to land the top contract among free agent WRs, and the big-play guy from the Colts could still return to Indy.
That sets the Bills up to chase after Doubs or Shaheed.
Doubs has been a reliable player for the Packers who has had football fans wondering if he can grow into a true No. 1 WR if given the opportunity.
Shaheed is less of a WR1 and more of a big-play threat. He'd still be a huge upgrade for Joe Brady's offense, allowing Josh Allen to show off his big arm down the field.
Either guy would fit the Bills well, and certainly be better than what they've got beyond slot receiver Khalil Shakir.
Buffalo could then still draft a receiver, too, and really try to replenish at a position that certainly needs some fresh faces for the Bills.
