The Buffalo Bills struck early in the trade market to give star quarterback Josh Allen more support after last season’s uneven offense.
The Bills and Chicago Bears agreed to a trade to send wide receiver DJ Moore to the AFC East. In exchange, Chicago will receive second- and fifth-round picks in next month’s NFL Draft, according to multiple reports.
Moore’s agent told ESPN that the Bills will guarantee just over $15 million of the wide receiver’s base salary for 2028. His salary this fall is expected to be fully guaranteed in Buffalo.

Player trades cannot be finalized until the new league year begins on March 11.
Once Moore arrives in Buffalo, he will reunite with Joe Brady, his former offensive coordinator in Carolina. Brady served as the Bills’ offensive coordinator from 2024 to 2025 before being promoted to head coach in January.
Moore thrived under Brady, surpassing 1,000 receiving yards in the 2020 and 2021 seasons.

Buffalo’s receivers lacked consistency in 2025 and Moore could provide some much-needed stability. Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Joshua Palmer are expected to still be part of the passing attack in 2026, likely in supporting roles.
Moore began his NFL career with the Panthers before being included in a trade package in 2023 that sent him to Chicago. He finished the 2023 campaign with a career-high 1,364 receiving yards.

Moore did not miss a game last season, hitting a 46-yard game-winner in overtime against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16. He has recorded six receiving touchdowns in each of the last two years.
