Bills Pursue Big Ten Star in Bold Move to Boost Josh Allen

Buffalo, NY – March 28, 2025

The Buffalo Bills are chasing a game-changer in the 2025 NFL Draft, pursuing Penn State tight end Tyler Warren to supercharge Josh Allen’s arsenal, sources told ESPN Friday. GM Brandon Beane is eyeing a trade-up from the No. 30 pick—potentially offering a 2025 first-rounder and a 2026 third-rounder—to snag the Big Ten standout, projected as a top-10 talent. With a $3.9 million cap space per Spotrac, Warren’s rookie contract—estimated at $14 million over 4 years—fits Buffalo’s budget, promising a multi-faceted weapon to join tight ends Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox. “We’re exploring every avenue,” Beane said. “He’s a special player.”

Warren’s 2024 season at Penn State was a breakout masterpiece, hauling in 88 catches for 1,055 yards and 9 touchdowns, plus 242 rushing yards and 4 TDs on 23 carries, per NFL.com. At 6’6, 261 lbs, with a 4.65 40-yard dash (NFL Draft Buzz), the Big Ten First-team star blends John Riggins’ power and Jeremy Shockey’s pass-catching flair. Over three seasons, he’s amassed 135 receptions, 1,682 yards, and 16 TDs, his TE/RB hybrid skills making him a matchup nightmare. “He’s a unicorn,” an AFC scout raved, “and Buffalo’s drooling over him.”

For the Bills, pursuing Warren could elevate an offense ranked 14th in passing yards per game (226.4) in 2024, per ESPN, adding a third dynamic tight end to Kincaid and Knox. Fans on X erupted: “Warren with Allen? Beane, make it happen!” His size and speed might stretch defenses thin, easing pressure off Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman, though trading up risks draft capital—a bold shift for Beane, who often trades down (Web ID: 0). For Penn State, losing Warren signals a rebuild post-2024, while his potential Bills landing could tilt the AFC balance. If Beane pulls this off, Warren might just be Buffalo’s next big playmaker—or slip through their grasp.
