On Tuesday, March 24, 2026, the Eagles signed Moore to a one-year deal, though financial terms remain undisclosed. His addition creates further uncertainty regarding the future of A.J. Brown in Philadelphia.

Reports suggest that Moore’s signing fuels speculation about Brown’s departure. However, it appears the Eagles will wait until after June 1 to move on from him to maximize salary cap flexibility.

Why June 1st is the key date

The primary reason a trade has not happened yet is financial. If the Eagles trade A.J. Brown before June 1, 2026, they would be forced to swallow a record-breaking $43.45 million dead cap hit immediately.

By waiting until after June 1, the Eagles can spread that cap hit over two seasons:

• 2026 Cap Hit: $16.35 million
• 2027 Cap Hit: $27.1 million

This maneuver would actually save the Eagles $7 million in cap space for the 2026 season, giving them the flexibility to finalize their roster.

The new-look Eagles WR depth chart

With Elijah Moore joining a room that already features DeVonta Smith and former Chiefs star Hollywood Brown, Philadelphia has built a contingency plan that allows them to move on from its WR1 without leaving Jalen Hurts empty-handed.

Darius Cooper, Johnny Wilson, Britain Covey, Quez Watkins, and Danny Gray complete the list of wide receivers the Eagles have. Obviously, awaiting to see what will happen with A.J. Brown.

One notable addition is former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore. During his introductory press conference, Moore expressed excitement about starting a new chapter with the Bills. He also reflected on his previous stints with the New York Jets and Browns, offering insight into what held him back.

Moore pointed to quarterback instability as a major factor in his struggles with both franchises. Drafted in the second round by the Jets, he suggested that a lack of chemistry with his quarterbacks prevented him from showcasing his full potential.

“It’s not just one thing… I’ve run into some QB trouble. I can’t throw the ball to myself,” Moore said. “If you have a great QB and he doesn’t have blockers, then he can’t throw the ball right either.”

Moore embraces fresh start with Bills

During his introductory press conference, Moore expressed his excitement about joining the Buffalo Bills. Moore called it a “great opportunity” and emphasized how eager he is to prove why he was a second-round pick five years ago. He also praised the organization’s culture and stability.

“It’s really just an earn-it thing. In football, you can’t promise anything to anyone,” Moore said. “Throughout my career, I haven’t had many chances to work with a consistent quarterback. It feels like I’ve had five QBs every season. Now, playing with an MVP-level quarterback for a full year, I think it’s the best situation I’ve ever been in.“

Moore also highlighted the team environment in Buffalo, comparing it to the close-knit atmosphere he experienced in college. “It’s a family organization. It brings back that college feel, and a lot of players, like me, miss that because everything becomes real life,” he said. With expectations running high, Moore could become a key asset for Allen as the Bills continue their pursuit of a Super Bowl title.

Moore open to expanded role in Bills offense

Looking ahead to the 2025 NFL season, Moore spoke about his potential impact in Sean McDermott’s evolving offense. While his primary role will be at receiver, the 24-year-old is open to contributing on special teams as well.

“I’d love to do that more,” Moore said of returning kicks. “With the rule changes, it’s more intriguing. One of my strengths is having the ball in my hands. Kick returns would definitely interest me.“

Last year, the Browns had a 7-10 record and were the worst team in the AFC North. That’s why Cleveland have to step up considering the Bengals are a Super Bowl contender with Joe Burrow, the Steelers couldbe on track thanks to Kenny Pickett and the Baltimore Ravens might keep Lamar Jackson.

So, with no time to lose, Cleveland decided to make a very interesting trade with the New York Jets. In a crucial year for Deshaun Watson, the Browns just gave him a key piece to improve the offense. Continue reading to find out the details.

Browns give Deshaun Watson help trading for a wide receiver

Elijah Moore is the new wide receiver for the Browns. After his arrival to Cleveland, this offense could be dangerous with names such as Deshaun Watson, Nick Chubb, Amari Cooper, Donovan-Peoples Jones and David Njoku.

Elijah Moore is only 22-years old, but couldn’t live up to the expectations as a huge college prospect with the Jets.New York selected him with the 34th overall pick just two years ago. Last season, Moore had very disapppointing numbers: 446 receiving yards and only one touchdown.

On the other side, the Jets decided to make this move after they recently acquired Mecole Hardman who played four seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs. In the trade of Elijah Moore, the Browns send the 42nd overall pick to New York in exchange for the wide receiver and the 74th overall pick in the 2023 Draft. By the way, the Jets now have consecutive draft picks (42nd, 43rd) in the top part of the second round.
