Elijah Moore is set to join the Philadelphia Eagles on a one-year deal, as announced on March 24, 2026. This signing marks a significant move for the Eagles as they bolster their wide receiver corps.
Moore, who was drafted in the second round as the 34th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, has had a tumultuous career, playing for five different NFL teams including the New York Jets, Cleveland Browns, Buffalo Bills, and Denver Broncos. His most recent season with the Bills saw him record just 9 catches for 112 yards.
Prior to his stint with the Bills, Moore had a more productive period with the Browns in 2023 and 2024, where he amassed a total of 1,178 yards. However, his performance dipped in 2025, where he had only 9 catches in 9 games, marking his worst season in the league.
In the AFC Championship Game while with the Broncos, Moore caught just one pass for 4 yards, further highlighting a challenging year. Throughout his career, he has accumulated 209 receptions for 2,274 yards and 9 touchdowns.
At 5’10” and weighing 178 pounds, Moore is known for his speed, clocking a 40-yard dash time of 4.35 seconds. He now joins a talented receiving group in Philadelphia that includes A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, potentially enhancing the Eagles’ offensive strategy.
Joe Douglas, the Eagles’ senior personnel director, played a pivotal role in drafting Moore during his time with the Jets, indicating a continued belief in Moore’s potential. As he prepares to turn 26 this week, Moore’s signing represents a fresh start and an opportunity to revitalize his career.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the specific terms of the contract, but the move has already generated interest among fans and analysts alike.
