Report: WR Elijah Moore heading to Buffalo on one-year deal

In the 2025 NFL draft, the reigning AFC runners-up Buffalo Bills addressed multiple positions, notably in the secondary and defensive line. Six of the team’s nine draft picks were in those two groups.

Buffalo notably didn’t select a wide receiver until the seventh round in Kaden Prather. General manager Brandon Beane strongly defended the team not picking a wide receiver earlier when he appeared on a radio show in Buffalo.

Now, the team is bolstering the position on the veteran market.

Buffalo signed former second-round pick Elijah Moore to add another player to the wide receiver room, as first reported by Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports.

The Bills ranked third in the NFL in scoring offense last season at 30.9 points per game and quarterback Josh Allen won his first NFL MVP award. He’ll enter the 2025 season with another proven option among the pass-catching group.

Here’s what to know about the deal.

Elijah Moore contract details

Moore’s deal is for one year and up to $5 million in incentives, per Schultz. Moore’s previous team, the Cleveland Browns, had put an unrestricted free agent tender on him this offseason. That means his departure will give Cleveland a compensatory draft pick next year.

Elijah Moore career stats

Moore was a second-round pick (No. 34 overall) by the New York Jets in the 2021 NFL Draft. He was the sixth wide receiver selected in the draft behind Ja’Marr Chase, Jaylen Waddle, DeVonta Smith, Kadarius Toney and Rashod Bateman.

In four years (two with the Jets, two with the Browns), Moore has played in 61 games and tallied 200 catches for 2,162 yards and nine touchdowns. He’s also had 20 carries for 71 rushing yards and one touchdown.

2021 (11 games): 77 targets, 43 catches, 538 yards, five touchdowns; five carries, 54 rushing yards, one touchdown
2022 (16 games): 65 targets, 37 catches, 446 yards, one touchdown; five carries, five rushing yards
2023 (17 games): 104 targets, 59 catches, 640 yards, two touchdowns; nine carries, 11 rushing yards
2024 (17 games): 102 targets, 61 catches, 538 yards, one touchdown; one carry, one rushing yard
