The Bills’ trade for DJ Moore is set to reshape Buffalo’s receiving group after the team acquired the veteran wide receiver from the Chicago Bears in exchange for 2026 NFL Draft picks.
The move reunites Moore with the Bills’ offensive coordinator Joe Brady. The pair previously worked together for two seasons with the Carolina Panthers in 2020 and 2021.
Bills Trade for DJ Moore: What Buffalo Gave Up
According to the report, Chicago will receive a second-round pick and a fifth-round pick from Buffalo in the 2026 NFL Draft. The Bills reportedly included the extra fifth-round selection to balance the deal’s value, with the second-round pick coming late in the round.
The trade cannot become official until next Wednesday, when the new NFL league year begins.
Moore is under contract through 2029 and is set to earn $24.5 million annually from 2026 onward, per the report.
His 2026 salary is fully guaranteed. The report adds that $15 million of his 2027 salary is expected to become guaranteed next week.
Agent Drew Rosenhaus also said the Bills will guarantee $15.5 million of Moore’s 2028 salary. Moore originally signed the deal with Chicago in 2024.

The Bills are pairing Moore again with Brady, under whom he reportedly produced back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons in 2020 and 2021, including 18.1 yards per reception in 2020.
For Buffalo, the trade adds a proven pass catcher already familiar with Brady’s system, while Chicago receives draft capital for a roster reset.
