San Francisco 49ers analysts project trade for wide receiver Keon Coleman
Summary

The San Francisco 49ers are exploring options to bolster their wide receiver corps following injuries to multiple key players. Bleacher Report analyst Kristopher Knox suggested the team could target Buffalo Bills receiver Keon Coleman in a trade involving a conditional 2027 fifth-round draft pick. The 49ers have managed significant roster turnover at the position this offseason, including the departure of Jauan Jennings and injury-related absences for Christian Kirk and Ricky Pearsall. Coleman, a 2024 second-round draft choice by Buffalo, has recorded 67 catches for 960 yards and eight touchdowns over 26 career games. San Francisco officials are evaluating young talent to build around for future seasons. If a trade is executed, the organization could attempt to sign Coleman to a long-term contract before his rookie deal concludes after 2027.
