Eagles Sign WR Elijah Moore to One-Year Deal

Philadelphia Eagles Sign Wide Receiver Elijah Moore Amid Ongoing Speculation About A.J. Brown's Future

Philadelphia, March 24, 2026 – The Philadelphia Eagles bolstered their wide receiver depth on Tuesday by signing free agent Elijah Moore to a one-year contract, a move that adds a familiar face to a unit already buzzing with trade rumors surrounding star A.J. Brown.

Moore, a 25-year-old former second-round draft pick out of Ole Miss, brings five years of NFL experience to the Eagles. Selected 34th overall by the New York Jets in 2021, he showed early promise with 43 receptions for 538 yards and five touchdowns in his rookie season. After two years in New York, Moore was traded to the Cleveland Browns ahead of 2023, where he posted back-to-back productive campaigns, catching 120 passes for 1,178 yards and three scores over 34 games. His career trajectory took a downturn in 2025 with the Buffalo Bills, where a one-year, $5 million deal yielded just nine catches for 112 yards in nine appearances before he was waived in late November. Moore then joined the Denver Broncos' practice squad, making one reception for four yards in their AFC Championship Game loss to the New England Patriots.
