Bills Land DJ Moore in Blockbuster Trade

Buffalo sent over a 20-26 second round draft pick and picked up a fifth rounder in return. At 28 years old, Moore steps in to fill a major gap in the Bills passing attack. Moore got his start as the 24th overall pick by the Carolina Panthers back in the 2018 draft. The first receiver taken that year. Out of Maryland. The Panthers traded him to Chicago in 2023, part of a blockbuster deal involving the number one overall selection. Over 8 NFL seasons and 131 games, Moore has racked up 608 catches for 8,213 yards and 41 touchdowns. He's notched 5,000 yard receiving seasons without much national hype yet and he's incredibly durable, missing just two games total. Bills head coach Joe Brady has history with Moore from his days as Panthers offensive coordinator in 2020 and 2021.
