ESPN and NFL Network were first to report the acquisition.
Moore joins a Bills receiver group led by Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Joshua Palmer and Curtis Samuel. The Bills used a seventh-round draft pick last weekend on receiver Kaden Prather.
Moore was a second-round pick, No. 34 overall, of the New York Jets in 2021, coming out of Mississippi. In 2022, he requested a trade, and the following March, Moore was dealt to the Cleveland Browns.

In four seasons, Moore has 200 catches for 2,162 yards and nine touchdowns. His 61 receptions last season were a career high.
Moore has speed 鈥 at the 2022 NFL combine, he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.35 seconds 鈥 but he has not often been a deep threat in the NFL. Lining up nearly equally outside and in the slot, he averaged 8.8 yards per catch last season with the Browns.
Shortly after his visit with the Bills, the Browns responded by applying the seldom-used unrestricted free agent tender on Moore.
The tender meant that Moore would have made $3.428 million with the Browns this season 鈥 110% of his salary from last season, according to the contract website Spotrac. Additionally, the tender means Moore will count toward the compensatory free agent formula for Cleveland.
During his appearance with 鈥淥ne Bills Live鈥 on Monday, Beane said talks with Moore were initiated before the visit.
鈥淗e鈥檚 a guy we鈥檝e spoken to a few times leading up to the draft, and we just kind of put a pin in it 鈥 just like we did several other positions 鈥 and said 鈥楬ey, let鈥檚 wait until the draft and see where we鈥檙e at, see if he鈥檚 still interested,鈥欌 Beane said.
鈥淚f we took a guy in the first or second round, he鈥檚 probably not too interested. But we didn鈥檛, and so, you know, we picked up those conversations over the weekend.鈥
