Bills land DJ Moore from Bears in cap-heavy swap

Moore from Chicago in exchange for a 2026 second-round pick (No. 60) to the Bears and a 2026 fifth-rounder sent to Buffalo, while Chicago saves about $16.5 million in cap space. Moore’s contract runs through 2029 with substantial guarantees (including 2026 guaranteed and sizable 2027–2028 guarantees).

Moore Deal Reframes A.J. Brown’s Eagles Prospects

As free agency approaches, the Eagles’ hopes of moving A.J. Brown hinge on the evolving WR market and potential AFC trade partners; Buffalo, New England, and Baltimore have been named, but D.J. Moore’s trade to the Bills chips away at one option for Brown and could boost Philadelphia’s asking price.
