Buffalo Bills receive backlash because of their peculiar decision to trade with the Chiefs
The team approved a deal in which the Chiefs advanced from selection #32 to pick #28 with their recent AFC foe, the Buffalo Bills.
There were rumors that the 21-year-old was the target of a “high-speed pursuit” by the New England Patriots, but the Chiefs made a better offer.
The Bills faced criticism from their supporters and the media for dealing with a direct opponent; not so long ago, the team informed Stefon Diggs that he may look to trade with any team but the Chiefs.
In addition, Worthy would have been a great choice for the Bills, who needed a wide receiver of their own.
Former NFL star believes the Bills have made the wrong decision not drafting Xavier Worthy
In an attempt to bolster their receiving core, the Bills selected receiver Keon Coleman on the second day of the draft; nevertheless, Plaxico Burress, a former wide out, feels that a chance was lost.
Speaking on the Craig Carton Show, he said, “With all due respect, Keon Coleman was a Michigan State guy before he transferred to Florida State, but if you’re the Buffalo Bills and you are starring at Xavier Worthy with everything he did at Texas State College, and you give Kansas City the trade and they get Xavier Worthy, and I would say he is a better wide receiver than Keon Coleman.”
Worthy is a better receiver than Keon Coleman, in Buress’s opinion, and the Buffalo Bills ought to have selected the receiver instead.

Furthermore, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, a former Chiefs receiver who was cut by the Chiefs due to offensive mishaps, has been acquired by the Bills.
The Chiefs offense will now have a new dynamic with Worthy, as the Bills have taken on their opponents’ dead weight.
Draft capital was cited by Bills General Manager Brandon Beane as a major reason the team felt it was a smart idea to complete a trade with the Chiefs.
Coleman and Worthy, the Chiefs standout enduring an early hamstring setback in the OTAs, are adjusting to their new lives.
