When those trades have worked, it’s usually because of deep familiarity. Such was the case with Deion Branch returning to Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots in 2010. The New York Jets hope a similar rekindling happens between Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams.

Allen has had a 1,000-yard receiver in Buffalo for five consecutive seasons, with Stefon Diggs filling that role for the past four. The Bills traded Diggs to the Houston Texans in the offseason. This season, Buffalo was one of the four NFL teams that did not have a player with 250 receiving yards yet in 2024.
