The Buffalo Bills agreed Thursday to acquire wide receiver D.J. Moore from the
Chicago Bears, two people with knowledge of the trade told The Associated Press.
Buffalo is sending Chicago a second-round pick in this year's draft in return
for Moore and a fifth-round pick, the people said. They spoke to the AP on
condition of anonymity because the deal cannot become official until the start
of the new league year Wednesday.
Moore is coming off making 50 catches for 682 yards and six touchdowns last
season as the Bears made the playoffs in Ben Johnson's first year as coach. He
had been with them since a 2023 trade from Carolina that gave the Panthers the
No. 1 pick and the chance to take Bryce Young --- and set the stage for Chicago
to get its franchise quarterback, Caleb Williams.
Moore, who turns 29 in April, has 608 receptions for 8,213 yards and 41 TDs in
eight NFL seasons since getting taken with the 24th pick in the 2018 draft.
He joins the Bills under new coach Joe Brady after quarterback Josh Allen has
thrown to a rotating cast of characters at receiver. Last season alone, Allen
completed a pass to 16 different teammates.
