Eagles Sign Moore: A Risky Bet or Jalen's New Target?
26 Mar
Summary
- Elijah Moore signed a one-year deal with the Eagles on Tuesday.
- Moore's signing follows Jahan Dotson's departure in free agency.
- This marks Moore's fourth team, seeking a better opportunity.
Elijah Moore has inked a one-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, a move made on Tuesday. This signing comes as the Eagles' depth at wide receiver was reduced by Jahan Dotson's departure in free agency.
Philadelphia also acquired Hollywood Brown, signaling a high-potential, low-risk strategy. Moore, now on his fourth team, joins an offense led by Jalen Hurts, who had a mixed 2025 season despite career highs in passing yards and touchdowns. A persistent disconnect between Hurts and A.J. Brown was noted, impacting the offense's effectiveness.
Moore previously displayed promise with the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets, recording a double-digit ADOT and over 100 targets in his rookie year. While trade rumors surrounding A.J. Brown persist, Moore's presence offers a potential path to a larger role.
Moore was released by Buffalo and briefly signed with the Denver Broncos in December 2025, but never moved off the practice squad. His new one-year deal is reportedly worth $5 million, contingent on his ability to improve route running, which suffered in Buffalo and Denver.
