Overview
- Multiple outlets report Buffalo will receive D.J. Moore and a 2026 fifth-round pick, with Chicago getting Buffalo’s 2026 second-rounder.
- The trade cannot become official until the NFL’s new league year opens on March 11 under league transaction rules.
- Moore reunites with coach Joe Brady and is expected to bolster Josh Allen’s outside options, reducing Buffalo’s urgency to spend an early draft pick at receiver.
- Chicago frees roughly $16.5 million in cap space and adds Day‑2 capital, with reporting tying that flexibility to pursuits such as center Tyler Linderbaum or a premium pass rusher like Maxx Crosby.
- Financial terms reported include Moore’s $23.5 million for 2026 fully guaranteed and the Bills guaranteeing $15.5 million of his 2028 salary, with 2027 guarantees triggering next week; separate reports say the Bears may release Tremaine Edmunds to open more room.
