The Buffalo Bills have made a big move after acquiring D.J. Moore from the Chicago Bears.
Cap space is very important in the NFL and the Buffalo Bills now have more of it.
According to PFT, the Bills have restructured D.J. Moore's contract.
"Moore had $22.185 million of his salary for the 2026 season converted to a signing bonus. The money cleared more than $17.7 million from the team’s cap for the coming season. The remainder of the cap hit was shifted into the next three years of Moore’s contract as well as a void year after the end of the contract.
"Per Over the Cap, Moore is now set to have cap numbers of $29.837 million in 2027, 2028 and 2029. Moore has salaries of $23.485 million in those seasons with $15.5 million of his 2027 salary standing as the only remaining guaranteed money in the pact."
The Chicago Bears signed Moore to a four-year, $110 million extension in 2024. Moore had 50 catches last season for 682 yards and six touchdowns with the Bears, who won the NFC North and beat the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round of the 2026 playoffs.
The former Carolina Panthers WR finished his Chicago career with 244 catches for 3,012 yards and 20 TD catches.
Like the Bears, the Bills lost in the Divisional Round of the 2026 playoffs. Buffalo lost to the Denver Broncos in Denver. The Bills have yet to reach the Super Bowl in the Josh Allen era.
"It's hard to win in this league. You should appreciate it, celebrate it," Moore said. "But the losses turn into lessons. You learn from your losses, get better as a player and you just go from there each and every time."
Moore has played for the Panthers and Bears. He enters next season with 608 receptions for 8,213 yards and 41 TD.
"I'm excited," Moore said. "I'm excited for the new challenge and a new journey. I think my time in Chicago, it ran its course and it ended on a great note with it being a great season in how it ended. Now it's time to do that here."
Moore and Allen will be coached by Joe Brady next season. Brady replaces Sean McDermott, who was fired after the Broncos game.
Allen finished with 3,668 passing yards, 25 passing touchdowns, 579 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns last season. The one-time MVP had right foot surgery after the season ended. The surgery was done on a broken bone in his foot.
