Brady: DJ Moore Is Still the Player I Coached in Carolina, Bills Expect a Bigger Offensive Leap

Buffalo Bills coach Joe Brady says DJ Moore remains the same player he coached with the Panthers, and Moore should help Josh Allen and a revamped offense after Allen’s foot surgery. Moore, acquired from Chicago, is expected to be a true WR1 to complement Khalil Shakir and Dalton Kincaid, with Brady noting a clear plan for utilizing him. Brady’s positive assessment comes as Buffalo eyes an improved scoring offense after changing coaches and adding Moore.

Bills Eye Myles Garrett in 2026 Trade Buzz After Browns Move

A speculative piece argues the Buffalo Bills could pursue star edge rusher Myles Garrett in 2026 now that Cleveland restructured his contract to enable a potential post‑June 1 trade; for 2026 Garrett would count about $23.5M on the Browns’ cap if kept, but a late‑summer trade could free roughly $13M in cap space for Cleveland, while Buffalo could absorb an $8.34M cap hit (about $31.5M in cash) if acquired; the trade cost is portrayed as likely starting with three first‑round picks, with other suitors like the Rams, Eagles, and Cowboys also mentioned; Cleveland even floated a hypothetical five‑year draft‑pick window in a proposed rule—readers are invited to discuss the idea in the comments.

Mike Evans near-move to Bills would’ve tipped AFC East against Patriots

The Patriots reclaimed the AFC East this offseason and are aiming for another title despite Bills threats, but Buffalo nearly landed Mike Evans to pair with D.J. Moore and a retooled defense. Evans ultimately chose the 49ers, citing a contender with a strong quarterback, which would have amplified Buffalo’s offense and made New England’s path tougher. Buffalo remains a threat in 2026 with continuity under Joe Brady, while Evans’ decision averted a potential AFC East nightmare for the Patriots.
