Chicago Bears trade of DJ Moore to Buffalo Bills is a win-win for both teams
The Chicago Bears have been one of the most talked-about teams in the NFL so far this off-season. Of course, a great deal of this has to do with their rumored interest in acquiring Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby. Indeed, Crosby is one of the hottest names on the trade market, but his salary and Las Vegas’ asking price is steep.
Many assumed that, if the Bears were to acquire Crosby, wide receiver DJ Moore would be a part of the trade package heading to the Raiders. However, earlier today it was reported that he is actually being sent to the Buffalo Bills.
The Chicago Bears trade of DJ Moore to the Buffalo Bills is a win-win

As reported here, the Bears sent Moore to the Bills in exchange for a mid-round pick. NFL insider Ian Rapoport was the first to report the deal:

Moore ends his three seasons in Chicago having put up totals of 244 receptions, 3,012 receiving yards, and 20 touchdowns.
The trade is a win-win for both teams, and for Moore himself. Chicago frees up nearly $17 million of salary cap space, which it will need to add players in free agency. This is especially important as they are primed to be serious players in the center market following the retirement of Drew Dalman. Additionally, the added cap space makes adding Crosby in a trade more feasible.
On the other hand, the trade benefits both Moore and Buffalo. The Bills did not have a clear-cut number one wide receiver, and now they do in Moore. For his part, the now-former-Bears wide receiver saw his role on the offense diminish in 2025. He went from having 140 targets in 2024 to just 85 in 2025.
Chicago can now focus on spreading the ball around to its younger pass catchers, who will continue to develop. Meanwhile, Moore has the opportunity to be the WR1 on a team that is desperate to compete for a Super Bowl in 2026.
