Buffalo Bills head coach Joe Brady is looking forward to coaching D.J. Moore again.
The Buffalo Bills made a blockbuster trade this offsesaon, acquiring WR D.J. Moore from the Chicago Bears.
New Bills head coach Joe Brady worked with Moore on the Carolina Panthers. Brady is looking forward to coaching Moore again, this time in Buffalo with MVP QB Josh Allen.
"DJ has a unique skill set," Brady said. "He can play inside, he can play outside, he can run-block. He makes dynamic plays down the field. Knock on wood, he plays, he practices. He's out there every day. He's playing every game, and he is playing and he's not coming off the field. That's unique at the wide receiver position … I've been wanting to coach him for the last few years, and so having that opportunity to kind of do it again excites me."
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 Panthers WR finished his Chicago career with 244 catches for 3,012 yards and 20 TD catches.
Moore has played for the Panthers and Bears. He enters next season with 608 receptions for 8,213 yards and 41 TD.
"Having a guy like DJ it's going to help both of them," Brady said. "[Defenses] can't just focus on one particular person. It gives us another layer of somebody on the outside. Khalil and Dalton have attacked a lot of the middle of the field, a lot of the inside zones … It was important to get a skill set like DJ, a guy that can stretch it, can win one-on-one, can get the ball in his hands, and he can win on a slant."
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 Allen era.
Brady replaces Sean McDermott, who was fired after the Broncos game. Allen and Brady have a close relationship, one that should extend to Moore soon.
