From the article

Signing a receiver like Trent Sherfield isn't a move meant to solidify the top end of the receiver room... Sherfield's role isn't to replicate what someone like Stefon Diggs meant to Buffalo's receiver room; instead, it's meant to replicate what Tyrell Shavers meant to that same group... If Sherfield is going to stick with Buffalo this season, it's going to be as the sixth wideout in a special teams-heavy role. He'll be facing off against veterans like Mecole Hardman Jr. and Jalen Virgil as his primary competition for that spot.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Sherfield's 2026 role is sixth WR in special teams role, competing with Hardman and Virgil.

Sherfield signed a one-year veteran minimum deal ($1.3M, $1.075M cap hit) with Buffalo on 3/26/2026 after a 2025 stint with Denver (10 games, 3 catches, 21 yards) and Arizona practice squad. His role is modeled after 2023 Tyrell Shavers—a sixth wideout in a special teams-heavy role—not a top-end receiver. He faces direct competition from Mecole Hardman Jr. and Jalen Virgil for the final roster spot; the source notes Sherfield is arguably the best pass-catcher of that trio but will need to show versatility and attack his role to secure the 53-man roster spot.
