The Buffalo Bills are working on bringing back an integral part of their offense down the final stretch of the 2025 season.<\/p>\n

The team\u2019s wide receiving corps struggled at times during the last season, with the pass-catchers often failing to get separation and opposing defenses ratcheting up the pressure on quarterback Josh Allen as a result. They did find success with two late-season pickups, and now could be close to bringing back one of them.<\/p>\n

Bills Working on Return for Brandin Cooks<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beane told reporters on Monday that the team was having discussions to bring back veteran receiver Brandin Cooks, who came to the team as a waiver wire pickup in December.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrandon Beane said he\u2019s had conversations with Brandin Cooks and his agent. Cooks remains a free agent right now,\u201d noted WGR 550 reporter Sal Capaccio in a post on X.<\/p>\n

Cooks appeared in five games for the Bills with two starts, making five receptions for 114 yards. He was also a top performer in the playoffs, making five receptions for 78 yards in two games.<\/p>\n

Cooks had already expressed a desire to come back to Buffalo after his successful but short tenure. In his season-ending interview after the team\u2019s loss to the Denver Broncos in the divisional round of the playoffs, Cooks said he enjoyed being part of the team and the chance to play with Allen.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would love to be a Buffalo Bill,\u201d Cooks said, via SI.com. \u201cThe process of getting here, coming here for those seven or so weeks, and building these relationships, it\u2019s a special place. Playing with Josh, and just continue to just grow throughout those weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cooks added that he would have one goal if he returned to Buffalo \u2014 winning a Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

\u201cGot a lot of love for [Allen],\u201d added Cooks. \u201cI believe so much in him, and ultimately, I just want to be there for him. You know, help him ultimately hoist that trophy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bills Face Other WR Decisions<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Bills have already made some changes to their wide receiving corps, parting ways with veteran Curtis Samuel after a two-year tenure marked by injuries and inconsistent play. They face another decision on third-year receiver Keon Coleman, who was benched twice last season for disciplinary reasons.<\/p>\n

Coleman had a supporter in Cooks, who questioned why Bills owner Terry Pegula would single out Coleman during the press conference were Joe Brady was introduced as the team\u2019s new head coach.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you hear something like that, you\u2019re like, \u2018Well, am I wanted?\u2019 That\u2019s the truth, as a player,\u201d Cooks said. \u201cBecause typically you don\u2019t hear those things, but when you hear it, you\u2019re like, \u2018Well, am I wanted? And if not, what do I do?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cBut if it\u2019s like, \u2018We still want you, but we gotta figure this thing out,\u2019 that\u2019s when you put that chip on your shoulder and you go to work and prove yourself right. I\u2019ve always been a big believer in not proving people wrong but proving yourself right on what you can do.\u201d<\/p>\n
