Eagles Sign WR Elijah Moore to One-Year Contract
Philadelphia has added wide receiver Elijah Moore to its roster on a one-year contract. The move aims to inject speed and playmaking into the offense before the 2026 campaign.
What Moore brings to the roster
Moore offers quickness and route-running versatility. He can line up outside or in the slot and contribute as a runner on designed plays.
Recent season and game activity
Moore started the season with the Buffalo Bills before being released in late November. He was later elevated from the Denver Broncos’ practice squad for the AFC Championship Game.
Before his release from Buffalo, he was active in nine of the team’s first 11 games. He recorded nine catches for 112 yards on 17 targets, and added 24 rushing yards and a touchdown on six carries.
Career timeline
The 25-year-old arrived in the NFL as a second-round pick in 2021. Denver marked the fourth stop in his five-year career. He previously played for the Jets, Browns, and Bills.
Moore had his most productive stretch in Cleveland during the 2023 and 2024 seasons. Over that span he worked past 100 targets and compiled 1,178 total yards.
Connections in Philadelphia
Moore is a close friend of A.J. Brown. That familiarity could help his integration into the locker room and the passing game.
Depth chart implications
The receiver room already includes A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Other targets in camp will include Hollywood Brown, Darius Slayton, Johnny Wilson, Quez Watkins, and Danny Gray.
Adding Moore gives the Eagles another option in short-area plays and quick-developing concepts. The team hopes his speed and creativity will boost the unit.
