Former Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore made sure to look back with gratitude as he turns the page to a new chapter.
The Bears traded Moore to the Buffalo Bills in exchange for a 2026 second-round pick. Chicago also sent a fifth-round pick to complete the deal.
Moore spent three seasons in the Windy City, averaging 81 catches, 1,004 yards and 6.7 touchdowns per year.
He was a key piece of the Bears’ breakthrough 2025 campaign. Chicago finished 11-6, captured the NFC North title and earned the franchise’s first postseason win since 2010.
Through it all, Moore made clear he will always cherish his time as a Chicago Bear.
NFL: DJ Moore reposts Chicago Bears’ tribute after trade to the Buffalo Bills

The tribute nodded to Moore’s iconic 46-yard game-winning touchdown catch in overtime against the Green Bay Packers on Dec. 20. That epic play sealed a 22-16 Bears victory at Soldier Field.
Moore appreciated the kind gesture. He reposted the tribute via Instagram stories, adding a folded hands emoji, a shooting star and a peace sign.
It was a fitting final exchange between a player and a franchise that gave each other plenty to remember.
Moore’s time in Chicago was brief but left a lasting mark. Over three seasons, he appeared in all 51 regular-season games and remained a dependable weapon.
When quarterback Caleb Williams took the keys to Ben Johnson’s offense, Moore shone even more. He notched 50 receptions, 682 yards and six touchdowns in his final year in a Bears uniform.
Both sides now move forward with purpose. Moore heads to Buffalo with familiar faces and a fresh opportunity. The Bears charge ahead with a rising core and championship ambitions.
