I don't want to say incomplete because that's not what our job is here today is to kind of just not give an opinion.
I don't love it if I'm the Bills, right?
He was, I believe, the 50th receiver in the NFL last year in receiving yards.
So a top 50 receiver technically, but right in there at number 50.
He's coming in and based on his production last year, he'd be your number two receiver compared to how your receivers did last
It was the fewest targets he's had of his career.
So there is that, but he did play a complete season.
He also wasn't the leading receiver on his team.
And from the Bears perspective, it seems like they're just trying to shed $24 million that they'd have to pay him to be a number two receiver.
And if you're the Bills, you're now taking him on his $24 million.
And I think he's signed through like 2028 and they've guaranteed like 15.
I think they guaranteed like $15 million of his 2028 salary.
And he's coming in and he's going to be your third highest paid player right now behind Josh Allen and Dion Dawkins.
And Dion Dawkins is making like $300,000 more than him.
So basically he's essentially your second highest paid player.
He's right there tied with your number two paid player.
and he might be your second best wide receiver.
So I wonder, I don't think it's crazy to say that this is a reach, but it seems like they didn't like any of the free agents or they didn't like the price they were going to have to pay for said free agents.
So they went and they made a move, but I don't know that DJ Moore at this stage in his career, it's going to be 29 next season, is the piece that they needed and the number one that Josh has been craving for all of these years.
I think it's the multiple years that also scares me if I'm a Bills fan, where it's his play has been declining.
