Bills’ Offseason Moves Face Scrutiny After D.J. Moore Trade and Bradley Chubb Signing

Analysts question whether the pricey additions materially boost Buffalo’s Super Bowl chances.

Overview

  • Buffalo traded for wide receiver D.J. Moore and signed edge rusher Bradley Chubb to address receiver and pass-rush needs after two seasons when 8.5 sacks would have led the team.
  • Chubb’s three-year, $43.5 million deal with about $29 million guaranteed was labeled the most head-scratching move of free agency by ESPN’s Field Yates.
  • CBS Sports gave the Bills a B for their early work, saying they remain contenders yet arguing the needle has not moved much.
  • Nick Wright criticized the approach as semi-desperate, citing the cost to acquire Moore and the risk tied to Chubb’s age and injury history.
  • Beyond the headline moves, Buffalo added C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Geno Stone and Dee Alford to the secondary, while depth questions remain and Brandin Cooks’ future is uncertain with a Jets landing spot discussed as speculation.
