Transparency is generally a positive thing when owners and general managers speak to the media. Baltimore Ravens fans saw this firsthand with Steve Bisciotti's honest assessment of John Harbaugh. However, some things shouldn't be said, and Buffalo Bulls owner Terry Pegula got a bit too personal when discussing the firing of head coach Sean McDermott.
During a press conference after the firing of McDermott, Pegula blamed the former coach for drafting Keon Coleman in 2024. This shows a lack of accountability and contradicts former statements from general manager Brandon Beane. Nevertheless, this puts Coleman firmly on the market, and the Ravens should pounce on this opportunity to add a talented young wide receiver at a low price.
Wow. #Bills owner Terry Pegula says the coaching staff pushed to draft WR Keon Coleman and that was never GM Brandon Beane's top choice in that situation.

It was already easy to see a world where Coleman got moved this offseason -- as the Florida State product was benched multiple times for disciplinary reasons and wasn't heavily involved in the Bills' offense when he was on the field. Pegula's comments all but guarantee that Coleman will be traded this spring, though.
Is he a perfect player? Absolutely not, but the Ravens could use a complementary receiver with Coleman's skill set. Trading for him would be an ideal low-risk, high-reward move.
The Ravens should look into trading for Keon Coleman
Upgrading the trenches is the top priority for the Ravens this offseason. Nevertheless, adding another receiver next to Zay Flowers is logical. Flowers had a fantastic season, but Baltimore has limited options alongside him, especially after Rashod Bateman had a downseason. Plus, at 5-foot-9 and 185 pounds, Flowers has certain physical limitations if he is your team's lone consistent WR option.
Getting Lamar Jackson a dependable deep threat with size and athleticism makes a lot of sense. George Pickens has been linked to Baltimore as a high-end WR option.
Regardless, if the Ravens don't want to make as big a splash, Coleman is an intriguing option. The 6-foot-4 wideout could play the role that Baltimore hoped Bateman would provide.
During his two seasons in Buffalo, Coleman has recorded 960 yards and eight touchdowns. His 57.8 catch rate is particularly concerning given his physical gifts. However, Coleman has the ideal build and athletic tools to become a dependable deep threat and red zone target.
The idea of Coleman reaching another level in an already high-powered Ravens' offense is simply tantalizing.
Of course, the concerns with Coleman are clear, but so is his upside, and the Ravens could help him get his career back on track. Now, whether the Bills would trade Coleman to their conference rivals is debatable. Nevertheless, the Ravens should absolutely pursue Coleman this offseason.
