The Buffalo Bills need a wide receiver. We all know this. Khalil Shakir is clearly not a No. 1, and Keon Coleman has a long way to go.

If the Bills seriously want to establish themselves among the Super Bowl favorites, they almost certainly need to add another weapon, and they have from now until the trade deadline to do it.

There should certainly be some intriguing options available for Buffalo before Nov. 4, and Bleacher Report's Mitch Milani has named one you would never expect: Miami Dolphins star Jaylen Waddle.

It's not that Waddle couldn't possibly be a trade candidate; there's definitely a chance he gets dealt. But would the Dolphins really move him to a fellow AFC East rival?

"The Miami Dolphins probably don't want to trade within their own division, but aren't the Buffalo Bills the obvious spot?" Milani said. "Don't they have to do whatever it takes to land a receiver with the skill set of Jaylen Waddle? ... A true No. 1 alpha target for Josh Allen."

Waddle has logged 30 catches for 405 yards and three touchdowns this season, averaging 13.5 yards per grab.

The 26-year-old, who played his collegiate football at the University of Alabama, was selected by the Dolphins with the sixth overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft.

Waddle posted three straight 1,000-yard campaigns to begin his career, topping out at 1,356 yards in 2022. That season, he averaged an incredible 18.1 yards per reception, which led the league.

He hasn't quite matched that production since, but Miami's volatile situation at quarterback — not to mention that Waddle had been contending with Tyreek Hill for targets — has certainly played a rather significant role in his statistical decline.

Last year, Waddle snared 58 balls for 744 yards and a couple of scores in 15 games, representing the lowest output of his professional tenure. But we already know that the 5-foot-10 burner is capable of much more than that.

Waddle would instantly boost the Bills' offense and make the aerial attack downright scary, as it would allow Shakir to move into more of a complementary role while also opening up Coleman down the field more.

But will a Waddle-to-Buffalo trade actually happen? Probably not.
