I think he's quite talented but he was never worth that recent contract. These salaries are getting out of control. Also seems he worked his way out of favor with the group in Chicago in general. If you're getting $82 million guaranteed and you're not practically bending over backwards to not be a distraction or a headache you are doing it the wrong way.

As for Buffalo. He will certainly be a nice addition and a weapon for Allen and Joe Brady. But I'll be keeping tabs on how that dynamic lasts the next 2 years or so. Joe Brady being a first time head coach is going to experience some bumps along the way without a doubt. DJ Moore hasn't exactly been a model teammate when things aren't going well and Joe is going to have navigate issues like that and everything that comes with being a first time head coach and being the coach that directly follows the winningest playoff coach in many years for the franchise. For all his faults Sean McDermott is tied for most playoff appearances in Bills history and the team has been around since 1960. Good luck with all that.

And re McD, they had missed the playoffs for a lot of consecutive years. I don’t remember offhand but something like 11 or 13. They were back in, in year 2. 
 

Brady had him here so there is familiarity both ways which is helpful.

Panthers North for the win. Good luck to him. Great guy, hated to see him leave here, but he's about to work with the best QB he's ever worked with (at least on a regular basis).

 

DJ Moore has always been a bit of an enigma. He came here young, flashed a ton of potential, but never truly grew into a real #1. He’s had a few good reasons, but yet to have a real monster season (outside of his first year with Chicago) We’re still waiting for him to blossom, but he will be 29 next season. I fear that it is too late for him at this point.

You've gotta be kidding. He's had four 1,100+ yard seasons (three with us) and two more that were basically 900 yarders, snagged 41 touchdowns in his career so far (with lousy QBs for most of his tenure).

Add in that he has been on a rapidly cycling carousel of coaches, offensive coordinators and losing teams and maybe he gets a pass. Let's see how he does in Buffalo.

Heck, I wish we'd have swung harder to get him back here, as WR2 or slot receiver. Great culture guy.

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
