The Chicago Bears have agreed to terms on a trade that will send veteran wide receiver DJ Moore to the Buffalo Bills on Wednesday, March 5, in their first major move of the 2026 NFL offseason, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Moore — who signed a four-year, $110 million extension with the Bears in July 2024 — will now head to the AFC to provide former MVP quarterback Josh Allen with a new No. 1 passing target. Schefter did not disclose the Bears’ compensation for the trade.
“ESPN sources: the Chicago Bears are working to finalize a trade that would send WR DJ Moore to the Buffalo Bills,” Schefter reported Wednesday on X before confirming the deal. “Compensation still is being discussed, and the trade cannot be processed until the new league year begins, but both sides are pushing to make it happen.”
Moore had been set to carry the Bears’ largest cap hit in 2026 at $28.5 million. Trading him clears $16.5 million in cap space and leaves the Bears with $12 million in dead cap.
The Bears have now cleared $26.5 million in cap space over the past week. They also gained back $10 million in cap space when Pro Bowl center Drew Dalman informed the team that he would retire from the NFL, voiding a significant portion of his contract.
The 2026 league year will officially begin at 4 p.m. ET next Tuesday, March 11.
