BUFFALO, NY. (WKBW) — 7 Sports has confirmed that just days after visiting the Buffalo Bills, the team and free agent wide receiver Elijah Moore have reached an agreement on a one-year, $5 million deal.
The 25-year-old is coming off back-to-back 100+ target seasons with the Cleveland Browns. He brings speed and a wide range of versatility into the Bills' receiver room.
Back in that red and blue 😍🫡Time to go be GREAT. Grateful for the opportunity! Cant wait to meet BILLS MAFIA ❤️💙

Moore becomes the third receiver acquired through free agency this offseason, following former Los Angeles Charger Joshua Palmer and former Seattle Seahawks specialist Laviska Shenault Jr.
This comes after the Bills selected only one wide receiver, Maryland's Kaden Prather, in the 7th round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
Tibbetts Take: This move makes a ton of sense for the Bills. Moore has youth, upside and speed. His receiving yardage and touchdowns won't pop on a stat sheet from the past two years, but we shouldn't ignore the back-to-back 100+ target seasons. Khalil Shakir led the Buffalo offense with 100 targets in 2024, and the next closest in that category was tight end Dalton Kincaid with 75. So, if Moore can make his way onto this roster come the fall, I think he'll become a reliable target for reigning MVP Josh Allen in this offense. Watching what the Browns were able to do with him in their offense last season makes me think the "Josh Allen effect," like we saw with Mack Hollins in 2024, will carry over for Moore and likely give him a similar recipe for success on his new team.
