The Buffalo Bills hosted wide receiver Elijah Moore on a free agent visit Monday, according to Fox Sports’ Jordan Schultz.

The report comes two days after the conclusion of the 2025 NFL draft.

Moore is a 25-year-old speedy receiver who has four seasons under his belt in the league.

In his four years (two with the New York Jets and two with the Cleveland Browns), Moore has averaged 50 catches and 541 receiving yards per season, and has 10 total touchdowns in his career.

He is coming off back-to-back seasons with over 100 targets with the Browns, and he put up a career-high 61 receptions in 2024.

Moore was a highly-respected prospect going into the 2021 draft after a monster junior season at Ole Miss. He set a school record in 2020 by recording 86 receptions, breaking the record of AJ Brown, and he racked up 1,193 yards and eight touchdowns on the season. His 149.3 receiving yards per game led the entire FBS that year.

He was projected as a first or second-round pick by most and even drew a player comparison to Antonio Brown from NFL.com. He ended up being selected with the second pick of the second round by the Jets due to his traits and speed (4.35 40-time). So, why hasn’t Moore lived up to his hype from that 2020 season?

Well, his quarterback play and offensive stability with the Jets and Browns didn’t help his case. Here’s the (long) list of QBs to start for the Jets in 2021-22 and Browns in 2023-24: Zach Wilson; Mike White; Joe Flacco; Deshaun Watson; Dorian-Thompason-Robinson; P.J. Walker; Jeff Driskel; Jameis Winston; Bailey Zappe.

Along with all those QBs, Moore played under three different offensive coordinators in four years, two with the Browns (Ken Dorsey was fired) and one with the Jets (Mike LaFleur, who was fired after 2022).

Bills general manager Brandon Beane is doing his due diligence in seeing if there is still untapped potential in Moore. Beane invested heavily in the defensive side of the ball in the 2025 draft, and didn’t take a wide receiver until the seventh round.

Due to a reported lower-than-standard crop of wide receiver drafts prospects, not reaching on one makes sense, especially if you can add a guy with the upside of Moore following the draft.

The financials would obviously need to align, but Moore’s speed could be of use for the Bills and would add another element to a unit that ranked second in the NFL in points per game in 2024 (30.9).
