‘Buffalo has been in talks with Moore for weeks but the two parties took a wait-and-see approach to how the Bills addressed the wide receiver position in the NFL Draft. Buffalo didn’t take a receiver until Maryland’s Kaden Prather in the seventh round, No. 240 overall.’

A way-too-early Bills 53-man roster projection after 2025 NFL Draft
‘The Bills lost Mack Hollins to the Patriots, and they didn’t re-sign Amari Cooper. They signed Palmer to effectively replace Cooper, and they just signed Moore Wednesday, a player who can line up inside and out and has 200 career catches in four seasons for the Jets and Browns. They surprisingly did not add anyone of substance in the draft (Kaden Prather in the seventh round probably isn’t helping) so newcomers Palmer and Moore will have to step up to help Shakir. Of course, the same goes for Coleman who was hurt and underwhelming in his rookie year, and for Samuel who never found his niche. The Moore signing might push Shenault off the roster unless he can definitively win the kickoff return job and contribute elsewhere on special teams.’
Buffalo Bills add WR with blazing speed just days after GM’s rant on position
‘Moore, 25, fits the bill as a receiver with speed. The veteran ran a 4.32 40-yard dash at his pro day ahead of the 2021 NFL Draft. Moore joins the Bills after setting a career-high in receptions (61) last season in Cleveland.’
Amid rabid WR discourse, Bills sign Elijah Moore
‘Moore totaled 61 receptions and 538 yards receiving for the Cleveland Browns a season ago. The 25-year-old WR was a 2021 second-round pick of the New York Jets. He played two years with the Jets, during which he recorded 80 receptions for 984 yards receiving and six touchdowns. He was then traded to Cleveland in the spring of 2023 and went on to total 120 receptions for 1,178 yards receiving and three touchdowns across two seasons.’

Bills Add Former Jets, Browns Wide Receiver on One-Year Contract
‘He put up modest numbers during his years as a Jet before being traded to the Browns in the spring of 2023. His most productive year from a receiving-yards standpoint came with Cleveland in ’23; he reeled in 59 catches for 640 yards as the Browns made the playoffs.’
Bills sign former Browns wide receiver to $5 million deal
‘Moore will likely end up as a surprise to many Bills fans that don’t see the signing as a big deal. If you compare his numbers to every Bills’ wide receiver from last year, he is second in receptions behind only Khalil Shakir. While Buffalo will likely start the year with Josh Palmer and Keon Coleman as their top two boundary receivers, don’t be shocked if he ends up taking reps from both players.’

‘Moore, 25, spent the past two seasons with the Cleveland Browns totaling 120 catches, including 61 last season. Moore was originally a second round pick of the New York Jets in 2021, but was traded to Cleveland following the completion of his second season.’
2025 Bills draft recap: Jordan Hancock
‘The 6’0″, 195 pound Hancock emerged as a key defender in his nickel cornerback role in 2023. He could have declared for the draft after that season but opted to return for his senior year. It turned out to be a good decision as the Buckeyes would go on to win the national championship and Hancock would earn Honorable Mention All Big Ten status.’
