The narrative surrounding the Buffalo Bills’ offense from start to finish in 2025 was their lack of a legitimate WR1 for quarterback Josh Allen. Teams across the league are cutting players to make room in their salary cap to head into NFL free agency with the resources needed to make big moves. However, the Bills took advantage of those salary cuts by trading their 2026 2nd round draft pick for Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore.
The addition of Moore enhances the Bills’ offensive arsenal around Allen. Those weapons include running back James Cook, wide receiver Khalil Shakir, and tight ends Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox. In addition to adding Moore, the Bills also received the Bears’ 2026 5th-round draft pick. NFL insider Adam Schefter reported the trade between the Bills and Bears on his X account.
Wide receiver D.J. Moore provides the Buffalo Bills offense a legitimate go-to target on offense that can create space on the field, stretch the field vertically, and catch contested passes. In addition, Moore has past experience working with the new Bills head coach, Joe Brady, after playing for Brady in Carolina. Moore’s best NFL seasons occurred with Brady as the Panthers’ offensive coordinator during 2020 and 2021. During his NFL career, Moore has proven he is a reliable, durable target, and he is already under contract through 2029.
The Risks of Adding WR D.J. Moore
Buffalo is making a significant move, with Moore scheduled to receive $23.5 million in 2026. Giving up a 2nd round draft pick reflects Buffalo and GM Brandon Beane’s confidence that Moore will be successful in Buffalo. On the other hand, Moore had his lowest performing season during his NFL career last season, only catching 50 passes for 682 yards. For Buffalo, it is critical that Moore has a bounce-back season in 2026.
