When the Buffalo Bills signed Elijah Moore from the Cleveland Browns, this looked like a major coup for the title champions of the EFC East.
Signed to the rare tender of non -exclusive limited free free agent, Moore could negotiate with any NFL team while being technically on the browns list, and in the end, decided to take its talents to Buffalo on a one year contract, $ 5 million.
But why? Why did Moore decided that the Bills were the right team for his services? Was it because of their cold climate? Their regional cuisine? Or because they had the best offer on the table?
Well, while all these options can have entered, the biggest factor was Josh Allen, like the old second round choice noted In an interview with Matthew Bove from WKBW.

“It was very, very easy. Moore asked.
“So for me, it was enough for me to make this decision, and he is just a phenomenal player. And from what I heard in the building and even around the league, he is an even more phenomenal person, so it’s not difficult to take behind this.”
You know, after having had to play a wide receiver with quarters like Zach Wilson, Jameis Winston and Dorian Thompson-Robinson at the NFL level, to play with a NFL MVP certainly had to play in Moore’s decision-making before the 2025 NFL season. Although its exact role in the team remains somewhat vague, because the Bills have a number of players with similar flanker / slot styles, Moore has finally one of the best quarters of the NFL throwing the ball and can flow or swim according to its own merits.
