The Philadelphia Eagles have added another offensive weapon ahead of the 2026 NFL season by signing wide receiver Elijah Moore to a one-year deal. The move brings a young but experienced playmaker to the Eagles’ receiving unit as the team continues to strengthen its roster for the upcoming campaign.
Moore, who is still just 25 years old, arrives in Philadelphia with several years of NFL experience and a history of productive seasons earlier in his career.

Performance With Buffalo Bills in 2025
| Games Played | Receptions | Receiving Yards | Targets |
|---|---|---|---|

Moore began the 2025 season with the Buffalo Bills and was active in nine of the team’s first eleven games.
During that stretch he recorded nine catches for 112 yards. He also contributed in the running game.
| Rushing Attempts | Rushing Yards | Touchdowns |

Despite those contributions, Moore was released by Buffalo later in the season.
Short Stint With Denver Broncos
After leaving Buffalo, Moore joined the Denver Broncos. He spent time on their practice squad and was elevated for the AFC Championship Game.
That stop marked the fourth team of his five-year NFL career before signing with Philadelphia.
Proven Production Earlier in Career
While his most recent season was quiet statistically, Moore has previously shown he can be a productive receiver.
| Career Highlight | Details |
|---|---|
| Multiple seasons | Over 500 receiving yards |
| Offensive role | Slot and deep threat |
| Skill set | Speed, quick separation, playmaking ability |
Those earlier performances made him one of the more promising young receivers in the league during his early years.

What Moore Brings to the Eagles
Moore gives the Eagles another fast and versatile receiver who can create separation and provide depth across multiple receiver positions.
At just 25 years old, he still has time to develop and regain the form that made him a productive player earlier in his career.
The one-year contract also makes this a low-risk move for Philadelphia. If Moore performs well, he could become an important contributor in the Eagles’ offensive system during the 2026 season.
For Moore, the deal represents another opportunity to restart his career and show that he can still be an effective playmaker at the NFL level.
