DJ Moore’s salary for 2027 is scheduled to total $24.5 million in cash under his current Buffalo Bills contract. That figure should not be confused with his projected $28.937 million salary-cap charge, which includes prorated bonus accounting.
The veteran wide receiver enters the 2026 season with a new team, a prominent role alongside Josh Allen and renewed fantasy-football interest. Here is what his contract, estimated wealth, age, trade grades and current fantasy rankings actually show.
What Is DJ Moore’s Salary for 2027?
Moore is scheduled to receive $24.5 million in total cash during 2027. According to the current Over the Cap contract breakdown, that amount consists of:
- $23.485 million base salary
- Up to $765,000 in per-game roster bonuses
- A $250,000 workout bonus
His projected 2027 cap charge is $28.937 million because Buffalo must also account for $4.437 million of prorated bonus money. At least $15.5 million of his 2027 base salary is listed as guaranteed.
Moore originally signed a four-year, $110 million extension with Chicago in 2024. Buffalo acquired the contract when it traded for him in March 2026 and subsequently converted $22.185 million of his 2026 salary into a bonus. That restructuring reduced his immediate cap hit while transferring more accounting costs into later seasons.
The structure is similar to other major NFL deals in which the headline contract value differs from annual cash and cap charges. The recent Jonathan Taylor contract extension provides another example of why guaranteed money and total contract value must be examined separately.
Moore remains under contract through the 2029 season, with $24.5 million in scheduled cash for each year from 2027 through 2029.
What Is DJ Moore’s Net Worth?
DJ Moore’s exact net worth is not publicly verified. Unlike salary and career-earnings figures, personal assets, taxes, investment returns, agent fees and private business interests are not disclosed through NFL contracts.
Published estimates currently place his wealth somewhere between approximately $40 million and $60 million. Pro Football Network estimated Moore’s net worth at $55 million to $60 million, while other publications have reported lower estimates.
Over the Cap lists his career NFL earnings at approximately $96.17 million through 2026. Career earnings cannot be treated as net worth because they represent gross football compensation before taxes and expenses.
The most accurate conclusion is that Moore has earned close to $100 million from NFL contracts, but no authoritative public record confirms his present personal wealth.
How Old Is DJ Moore?
DJ Moore is 29 years old as of August 2026. He was born on April 14, 1997, in Philadelphia and will turn 30 on April 14, 2027.
The Buffalo Bills’ official roster lists Moore as a 29-year-old wide receiver entering his ninth NFL season. Carolina selected him with the 24th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft after his college career at Maryland.
What Was DJ Moore’s Trade Grade?
There is no official grade for the DJ Moore trade because grades represent individual analysts’ opinions.
Buffalo received Moore and a 2026 fifth-round selection from Chicago in exchange for a 2026 second-round pick. Initial reactions generally favored Chicago’s return while recognizing that Buffalo filled an important need at wide receiver.
SB Nation initially graded the Bills’ side B+ and the Bears’ side A+. Its assessment viewed Moore as a potentially productive No. 1 target for Josh Allen but considered the second-round selection and expensive contract meaningful risks.
The evaluation became less favourable for Buffalo as the offseason progressed. A July re-grade reported by Sports Illustrated gave Buffalo a C and Chicago a B+. That assessment questioned whether Buffalo paid too much for a receiver whose production had declined during the previous two seasons.
Those grades could change substantially once Moore plays regular-season games with Allen. Buffalo made the trade partly because new head coach Joe Brady previously worked with Moore in Carolina during consecutive seasons in which the receiver exceeded 1,100 yards.
What Is DJ Moore’s Fantasy Ranking for 2026?
Moore currently falls around WR25 to WR29, depending on the scoring system and ranking provider.
ESPN’s PPR rankings, updated August 14, placed Moore at WR28 and No. 54 overall. FantasyPros’ August 15 expert consensus ranked him WR29 and No. 62 overall, while its PPR average draft-position data placed him around WR25 and No. 56 overall.
That range makes Moore a late WR2 or strong WR3 in a typical 12-team fantasy league. His average draft position generally places him in the fifth or sixth round.
The upside is clear. Moore is projected to occupy an important role in a Buffalo passing game led by Josh Allen. However, fantasy managers must balance that opportunity against his 2025 decline, when he recorded 50 receptions for 682 yards and six receiving touchdowns.
His current ranking reflects both sides of the argument. Moore offers bounce-back potential in a better quarterback situation but his recent production makes him less secure than the elite receivers selected in the first four rounds.
All contract and fantasy-ranking figures are current as of August 15, 2026 and may change following another restructuring, injury update or ranking revision.
