The Bills focused heavily on defense during the draft, leaving their receiver room essentially intact. As the post-draft wave of free agency begins, Buffalo is hosting one of the top options still on the market. 
Elijah Moore will visit the Bills today, Fox Sports’ Jordan Schultz reports. The former Jets second-rounder only spent his first two years in New York, and he was traded to the Browns halfway through his rookie contract. Moore handled snap shares of 73% and 76% in Cleveland, receiving triple-digit targets both seasons during his time there.
In 2024, the Ole Miss product set a new career high with 61 catches. While his yards per reception average (8.8) marked a step back from his three previous campaigns, the Browns’ quarterback play was lacking throughout the season and their offense struggled as a whole. Considering his age (25), Moore could be seen as a more attractive option to suitors than the other, older wideouts still on the market.
Buffalo’s decision to move on from Stefon Diggs last offseason led to questions at the receiver position. Taking a more balanced approach on offense, the team managed to finish top-10 in passing yards in 2024 while ranking second in the NFL in scoring. Duplicating that success will include continued reliance on Khalil Shakir, who comfortably led the team in yards (821). Shakir was one of several Bills to receive a long-term extension this spring.
Keon Coleman flashed potential during his rookie campaign, averaging an impressive 19.2 yards pre catch (albeit on only 29 receptions). The No. 33 pick in last year’s draft will likely take on an increased workload in 2025, a year in which free agent addition Josh Palmer will occupy a starting role. Buffalo’s WR room lost Mack Hollins in free agency while trade acquisition Amari Cooper remains unsigned at this point.
Room therefore exists for an addition late in free agency. Moore could take on at least a rotational role in Buffalo if today’s visit produces an agreement. One would likely need to be a low-cost flier, though, since the Bills entered Monday near the bottom of the league in cap space ($3.14MM) with rookie signings and UDFA additions still to be added to the team’s books.
Would be a decent fit. Also could see him with Cowboys or Cardinals
Im interested – Beane is getting negligent on that position.
I know it was the best offense in tram history last year, but Im not 100 percent certain its sustainable without adding WR talent.
Not that I ever expect to be bad offensively, I just think we are resting on our laurels and expecting a repeat isn’t necessarily wise.
That said – adding Josh Palmer and potentially adding Elijah Moore could still be an upgrade over Cooper/Coleman/Hollins.
Im not completely closed off the idea of this being better – its just unorthodox and Im still having small doubts.
At this point I’d rather they bring back Amari.
The coaches know what Cooper brings and may feel it’s better to bring in a younger player who has done well despite not having an elite QB throwing to him
Seems like an odd fit to bring to a team that already paid Curtis Samuel, but Moore is an intriguing free agent. He’s had a disappointing career so far, but he’s had terrible quarterback situations and he’ll play all of next season at only 25. He’s worth a look for someone.
Moore fits the mold of wrong place wrong time. His time with the Jets is a perfect blend of weak offense and shakey faith in coaching staff he found his career path murky and said something. I give him credit for saying his part and trying to bet on himself. He can help someone. If he can help a team with the original #2 pick (a bad team) I’d like to see him help a good team. Wish the Niners would kick the tires
