One proposed move centers on Chicago Bears receiver DJ Moore. A recent trade scenario suggests the Bills would send the No. 91 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and a 2027 sixth-round pick to Chicago in exchange for Moore, while restructuring his contract to reduce the 2026 cap hit and keep the deal flexible in subsequent years.
Moore, entering his age-29 season, would bring speed and separation to Buffalo and complement players already on the roster, such as Khalil Shakir. The proposal argues Moore could fit well alongside an on-time-throwing Josh Allen and would allow other receivers in the Bills’ mix to step into prominent roles as 2026’s X receiver.
From a financial perspective, Moore’s four-year, $110 million contract would be a long-term commitment, but the proposed trade aims to cap and manage his cost-to-benefit balance, leveraging Buffalo’s existing cap space. The idea also taps into the Bills’ history of trades with Bears executive leadership, including past pre-draft interactions.
Overall, Moore is presented as a budget-conscious, upside option who could accelerate Buffalo’s offensive potential without breaking the bank, given his age, skill set, and the team’s cap flexibility. The discussion positions Moore as a viable fallback if a higher-profile target like A.J. Brown proves unattainable.
