The Chicago Bears are trading veteran wide receiver D.J. Moore to the Buffalo Bills, according to Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) of NFL Network. The deal reportedly involves mid-round draft pick compensation heading back to Chicago.
The move provides Josh Allen and the Bills with a proven primary target as they look to bolster their receiving corps for the 2026 season. Moore, 28, is coming off a 2025 campaign where he recorded 50 receptions for 682 yards and six touchdowns. While those figures represented a career-low in yardage, Moore has been a consistent producer throughout his career, leading the Bears in receiving in each of his first two seasons with the franchise.
The acquisition of Moore likely shifts the NFL's trade landscape, as Buffalo had been heavily linked to other top-tier receivers, including A.J. Brown. With Moore now headed to Western New York, the Bills have addressed their need for a veteran presence in the wide receiver room following several key departures in recent years.
Moore was originally acquired by the Bears in the 2023 trade that sent the No. 1 overall pick to the Carolina Panthers. After three seasons in Chicago, he now moves to a perennial AFC contender as the Bills continue to build around their franchise quarterback.
