The Eagles continue to add to their WR depth. After signing Marquise Brown last week, the Eagles have now agreed to a deal with Elijah Moore, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. It’s a one-year deal for the free agent wide receiver.

After showing flashes with the Jets and Browns to begin his career, the former second-round pick inked a one-year deal worth up to $5MM with the Bills last offseason. While Moore represented an intriguing piece on a questionable Buffalo WRs depth chart, the acquisition disappointed, hauling in only nine catches for 112 yards in nine games.
Moore was sent packing in late November after the Bills added Brandin Cooks. The wideout later caught on with the Broncos practice squad. His lone appearance with Denver came in the AFC Championship Game, when he hauled in a four-yard catch.
A.J. Brown‘s status looms over the Eagles’ WR acquisitions. However, these recent signings don’t necessarily signal that Brown is destined to play elsewhere in 2026. Hollywood and now Moore are easy fill-ins for Jahan Dotson, who left for the Falcons on a two-year deal. Along with Darius Cooper, the free agent additions are likely eyeing secondary roles in the Eagles offense.
It’s also worth noting that Moore is good friends with A.J. Brown, per NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe. While their respective roster statuses aren’t dependent on each other, this could at least be seen as a good-faith move by the franchise. Moore was also drafted by former Jets GM and current Eagles exec Joe Douglas, so there was surely interest in the free agent regardless of his friendship with the star receiver.
The more significant indicator of Brown’s future with the franchise could come via the draft. We heard recently that Howie Roseman was set to target rookie WRs regardless of Brown’s status, with the front office potentially using an early-round pick at the position. In the scenario where the Eagles keep Brown and add a notable rookie WR, Moore could be fighting for a roster spot come the preseason.
