Bills Agree to Acquire Bears WR DJ Moore, Sources Say The Buffalo Bills have reached an agreement to acquire Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore in a trade, according to sources close to the deal. The transaction involves the Bills sending a 2026 second-round draft pick to the Bears in exchange for Moore and a 2026 fifth-round selection. The trade is expected to be finalized once the new NFL league year begins next week. Moore, who turns 29 on April 14, will join the Bills as part of their efforts to bolster their wide receiver corps. The deal includes guaranteed portions of Moore’s contract, with the Bills committing to $15.5 million of his $23.5 million base salary for 2028. His 2026 salary, also $23.5 million, is fully guaranteed, and his 2027 base salary becomes fully guaranteed next week. Moore’s move to Buffalo comes after a season of fluctuating performance with the Bears. During his first year with Chicago in 2023, he had a career year, recording 1,364 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. However, his production dipped in subsequent seasons, partly due to changes in the Bears’ offense, playcallers, and quarterback. In 2024, he led the team with 98 catches for 966 yards, but his role diminished in 2025 as younger players like Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III emerged. The trade also marks a reunion between Moore and Bills head coach Joe Brady, who previously coached him with the Carolina Panthers in 2020 and 2021. Brady, now in his first season with Buffalo, will have the opportunity to implement his offensive strategies with Moore, a player known for his route-running and ability to make big plays. The Bills’ decision to acquire Moore reflects their need for consistency at the wide receiver position.#buffalo_bills #chicago_bears #dj_moore #joe_brady #josh_allen
