The Bears agreed to trade Moore to the Bills on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Buffalo will send a second-round draft pick to Chicago in exchange for Moore and 2026 fifth-round pick.
EDGE Analysis
Moore should instantly slot in as the top receiving option for Josh Allen under head coach Joe Brady. The veteran wide receiver had at least 1,157 receiving yards in both the 2020 and 2021 regular seasons with the Panthers, where Brady was the offensive coordinator at the time. Moore's 682 regular-season receiving yards with the Bears in 2025 marked the lowest total of his eight-year career, as he lost target share to recent draft picks Rome Odunze, Luther Burden and Colston Loveland (concussion). Khalil Shakir led the Bills in targets and receiving yards each of the past two regular seasons, compiling 148 catches for 1,540 receiving yards on 195 targets over that span.

Moore hauled in five of eight targets for 52 yards and a touchdown while adding eight yards on one rush attempt in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Moore scored the game's first touchdown in the second quarter, but it wasn't enough to lift the Bears past the divisional round of the playoffs. The 28-year-old saw his production dip significantly for the second year in a row after finishing with a 50-682-6 receiving line across 17 starts during the regular season. Moore did take on a larger role once the playoffs got under way, as he averaged 5.5 receptions and 58.0 yards while scoring a touchdown in each of his two appearances. Despite the veteran wideout's diminishing production in the regular season, Moore should retain his starting job with Chicago after signing a four-year, $110 million contract back in 2024.

Moore (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's divisional-round game versus the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Both Moore and fellow WR Rome Odunze (foot) followed an LP/LP/FP practice regimen this week, but only Odunze is entering the weekend as questionable to suit up. There's been no indication that Odunze is trending in the wrong direction to do so, and if he ends up being available, a similar breakdown of snaps between him (69 percent) and Moore (86 percent) from this past Saturday's wild-card win against the Packers is possible Sunday.

Moore (knee) was limited at practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The same applies to fellow WR Rome Odunze (foot) after both players also were listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report. The Bears' next report is destined to clarify whether either of the duo are able to upgrade to full participation Friday, as well as their official game statuses ahead of Sunday's divisional-round contest against the Rams.

Moore (knee) was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report.
EDGE Analysis
Moore also was limited at last Tuesday's walkthrough before capping the week with a full practice Thursday and heading into the weekend with no designation. He proceeded to lead Bears wide receivers in snap share (86 percent) in this past Saturday's wild-card win versus the Packers en route to six catches (on seven targets) for 64 yards and one touchdown and one carry for minus-5 yards. Both Moore and fellow WR Rome Odunze (foot) were limited at Wednesday's walkthrough, so their statuses will continue to be monitored ahead of Sunday's divisional-round contest against the Rams.

Moore secured six of seven targets for 64 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for minus-5 yards in the Bears' 31-27 wild-card win over the Packers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Moore paced the Bears' wideouts in receptions and receiving yards while tying Luther Burden for the lead in targets on the night. The veteran also made up for a drop earlier in Chicago's game-winning drive by hauling in a 25-yard scoring strike from Caleb Williams that would prove to be the game-winning touchdown. Moore should continue playing an integral role in next weekend's divisional-round clash against either the 49ers or Eagles.

Moore (knee) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's wild-card game versus the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
Moore followed up Tuesday's limited walkthrough and Wednesday's capped practice with a full session Thursday, thereby clearing him to play through a knee issue. Fellow WR Rome Odunze (foot) appears poised for his first game action since Week 13 after avoiding a designation on Thursday's injury report. As such, the Bears will have all options in the receiving corps available in Round 1 of the playoffs.

Moore (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Moore ended the regular season with back-to-back one-catch efforts and now is dealing with a knee injury that capped his reps at Tuesday's walkthrough and Wednesday's session. He may need to operate without restrictions Thursday in order to head into the weekend without a designation for Saturday's wild-card game versus the Packers.

Moore was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice due to a knee injury.
EDGE Analysis
The knee issue is a new concern for Moore, whose most recent appearance on a Bears injury report came back in Week 17, when he was battling an illness. After putting in a limited session Tuesday, Moore will have two more chances to potentially upgrade his practice activity and clear up any concern about his availability for Saturday's wild-card game versus the Packers. Moore suited up for all 17 of the Bears' games during the regular season, accounting for seven total touchdowns (six receiving, one rushing) while producing 682 yards on 50 catches and 79 yards on 15 rushing attempts.

Moore caught one of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
Moore was nearly blanked in Week 18, securing his only pass for 11 yards in the second quarter. The 28-year-old had another chance to serve as the team's No. 1 wideout with Rome Odunze (foot) sidelined, but he recorded his second straight one-catch performance. Moore finished the regular season having caught 50 of 85 targets for 682 yards and six scores while adding 79 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries over 17 contests. The wide receiver will now look to get back on track in the wild-card round next weekend against the Packers.
