Bears Get: 2026 2nd-round pick
Bills Get: WR D.J. Moore, 2026 5th-round pick
Even with quarterback Josh Allen playing at an MVP-Pro Bowl level, the Buffalo Bills haven’t had a pass-catcher rack up more than 821 receiving yards since 2023.
The Bills needed to bolster their wide receiver group, but they did so at a costly price for a player who hasn’t eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards since 2023. That said, Moore could be Buffalo’s lead pass-catcher and brings much-needed speed to the team’s aerial attack. Yet his receiving yard totals have been on the decline over the last two years.
Nonetheless, it’s worth noting that Moore played with Caleb Williams, who has struggled with accuracy in his first two seasons, completing just 60.3 percent of his passes. Also, the 29-year-old wideout ceded targets to younger pass-catchers, Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III and Colston Loveland last season.
Perhaps Moore plays a bigger role in the Bills offense, though it’s not a guarantee with wide receivers Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Joshua Palmer vying for targets.
Buffalo is looking for an offensive spark, and Chicago traded a player who had faded in its offense for premium draft capital.
