Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network reports the Bills sending a second-round pick in 2026. Chicago is also sending a 2026 fifth-rounder to Buffalo along with Moore.
Schefter notes that Bills have a surplus of talent at receiver which makes moving Moore possible, including former first-round Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III, who was a second-round pick last summer.
At tight end, Chicago also has first-round pick Colston Loveland, who showed good chemistry with quarterback Caleb Williams down the stretch of last season.
Moore had 50 catches for 682 yards and six touchdowns in 17 games in 2025. He had 3,012 receiving yards and 22 total touchdowns in three seasons with the Bears.
Prior to his time in Chicago, Moore spent five seasons with the Carolina Panthers.
