The Buffalo Bills entered the 2025 NFL season with high expectations surrounding quarterback Josh Allen, and he delivered another stellar campaign, throwing for 3,668 yards, 39 (total) touchdowns, and 10 interceptions while leading the team to a 12-5 record and a Wild Card playoff berth.
Despite a strong regular season that saw Buffalo finish second in the AFC East and set numerous team records—including the No. 1 ranked rushing offense and pass defense—the Bills’ postseason run ended in the Divisional Round after a Wild Card win over the Jacksonville Jaguars (27-24) and a heartbreaking overtime loss to the Denver Broncos (33-30).
With another post-season trip in their sights for 2026, the team has acquired a superstar to help.

The Buffalo Bills have agreed to acquire wide receiver DJ Moore and a 2026 fifth-round pick from the Chicago Bears in exchange for a 2026 second-round pick, per league sources. This blockbuster trade finally gives Josh Allen the superstar wideout he’s long deserved, reuniting Moore with Bills head coach Joe Brady, who oversaw Moore’s breakout 2020 season as Panthers offensive coordinator when Moore posted 1,193 receiving yards and a career-high 18.1 yards per catch.
DJ Moore’s explosive playmaking, deep-threat ability, and after-the-catch prowess make him a perfect complement to Josh Allen’s aggressive, arm-strength-driven style. The familiarity with Brady’s schemes ensures a seamless integration, potentially unlocking new levels for Buffalo’s passing attack in the ultra-competitive AFC East.
DJ Moore’s Perfect Fit for Josh Allen and Buffalo Bills Offense
As a former first-round pick, DJ Moore brings consistent production, contested-catch reliability, and big-play upside to an offense that already features Josh Allen’s elite arm talent and a powerful ground game. His 2020 efficiency under Brady highlights how well he thrives in creative, quarterback-friendly systems—exactly what Buffalo needs to push past recent playoff frustrations.
The trade cost—a 2026 second-rounder—reflects Moore’s status as a proven high-end starter without forcing the Bills to part with their 2026 first-round pick. This move positions Buffalo to contend immediately while preserving future draft flexibility.

How DJ Moore Elevates Josh Allen: Impact on Bills Offense and Bears Rebuild
For Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills, adding DJ Moore transforms the receiving corps into one of the league’s most dynamic units, giving the star QB a reliable alpha target who excels in intermediate and deep routes. With Brady tailoring plays to Moore’s strengths, this acquisition could be the missing piece that propels Buffalo toward Super Bowl contention.
On the Chicago Bears’ side, the incoming second-round pick bolsters their draft capital for addressing offensive or defensive line needs, while opening opportunities for young talents like Rome Odunze and Keenan Allen to step up.
This trade caps a busy NFL offseason of wide receiver movement, with the Bills making a clear statement: they’re all-in on maximizing Josh Allen’s prime with elite talent around him.
