The Buffalo Bills have agreed to acquire wide receiver DJ Moore and a 2026 fifth-round pick from the Chicago Bears, sending back a 2026 second-round pick, per league sources. The move reunites Moore with Bills head coach Joe Brady, who previously served as offensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers and oversaw Moore’s breakout 2020 season.
During Brady’s time calling plays in Carolina, DJ Moore exploded for 1,193 receiving yards and a career-high 18.1 yards per catch, showcasing his explosive playmaking ability and chemistry with creative offensive schemes. That familiarity makes this a natural fit as the Bills look to give quarterback Josh Allen another elite weapon in the passing game.

DJ Moore, a former first-round pick, brings consistent production and big-play potential to Buffalo’s offense. His 2020 campaign under Brady remains one of his most efficient, highlighting his ability to win deep and create after the catch—skills that should translate seamlessly in Buffalo’s high-powered attack.
The trade cost—a 2026 second-round pick—reflects Moore’s value as a proven No. 1 or high-end No. 2 receiver. In return, the Bears gain valuable draft capital to continue building around their young core, while the Bills add immediate help at a premium position without sacrificing their 2026 first-rounder.

For the Buffalo Bills, adding DJ Moore bolsters an already talented receiving corps and gives Josh Allen a reliable target who excels in intermediate and deep routes. With Brady’s familiarity calling plays tailored to Moore’s strengths, the move could elevate Buffalo’s aerial attack to new heights in the competitive AFC East.
On the Chicago Bears side, the second-round pick provides flexibility to address needs along the offensive or defensive lines, or to move up in future drafts. Moore’s departure opens opportunities for younger receivers like Rome Odunze and Keenan Allen to take on larger roles.
This trade continues a busy NFL offseason of significant wide receiver movement, with teams prioritizing proven talent to contend immediately.
