The Chicago Bears have reportedly agreed to a trade that will ship wide receiver D.J. Moore to the Buffalo Bills, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.<\/p>\n

Bills quarterback Josh Allen will have a new No. 1 weapon.<\/p>\n

Per Pelissero, the Bills are sending their 2026 second-round draft pick to the Bears in exchange for Moore and a 2026 fifth-round pick. Some wondered if the New England Patriots<\/a> would show interest in Moore after informing four-time Pro Bowl wideout Stefon Diggs of their plans to release him.<\/p>\n

However, they’ll now be figuring out ways to defend Moore and Allen next season.<\/p>\n

Moore is coming off a season that saw him record 50 receptions for 682 yards and six touchdowns. It was a down year by his standards, but he did provide a spark for the Bears during their playoff run, catching 11 passes for 116 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n
