The Buffalo Bills have had a rather smooth last month or so as they gear up for an important offseason with Joe Brady as the new head coach.
The franchise made a couple of good free agency moves with D.J. Moore and Bradley Chubb being signed, and then the draft, where many believe the Bills did well, getting more pieces on defense for Jim Leonhard.
But one big question remains for Buffalo, and it will likely linger until the regular season begins, and that is, what is Keon Coleman going to get?
For CBS Sports' Tyler Sullivan, his biggest offseason question for the Bills is whether or not Keon can save his Buffalo career.
"In the aftermath of firing Sean McDermott, Coleman caught a stray from owner Terry Pegula, who noted that it was the coaching staff that pushed for the team to draft him instead of GM Brandon Beane," Sullivan wrote. "At the time, it felt like that was the nail in Coleman's coffin regarding his tenure with the Bills.
"However, the receiver remains with the team at this stage, and it appears like he'll be on board for 2026 as they move forward with head coach Joe Brady.”

What are Coleman expectations for 2026?
Well, firstly, I'd imagine that the young receiver gets things sorted off the field, as that was reportedly the issue last year with Coleman. Becoming more mature is No. 1.
Then, he's got to produce on the field, and what that looks like under Brady isn't known, especially with the arrival of Moore, as Keon will be pushed further down the depth chart.
Moore, Khalil Shakir, and Joshua Palmer are all ahead of him, and even Tyrell Shavers, too.
So, getting a good number of targets looks to be a tall order, and Keon, in what will likely be minimal reps, is going to have to make the most of them.
Can he? If he wants to stick around in Buffalo a little longer, he'll have to.
