Plus, ahead of rookie minicamp, a run through some early 53-man roster predictions.

The Buffalo Bills brought in versatile veteran wide receiver Elijah Moore to bolster their receiving corps, adding a former second-round pick who can play both on the boundary and in the slot.

But why did Moore opt to sign with the Bills on a one-year deal worth up to $5 million? Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by hearing from Moore on why he wanted to join the five-time defending AFC East champions and why catching passes from reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen played a large part in his decision to come to Buffalo.

Why WR Elijah Moore signed with Buffalo

In his previous four seasons in the NFL since being selected by the New York Jets with the No. 34 pick in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Elijah Moore has played with 11 different quarterbacks and has never truly had a consistent quarterback throwing him the ball.

Coming off a season where he caught a career-best 61 passes for 538 yards and one touchdown with the Cleveland Browns, Moore said he’s excited about the opportunity to join one of the NFL’s most stable quarterback situations and contribute to one of the league’s most prolific offenses.

“I haven’t really had too many great opportunities with a stable quarterback (an) entire season. ... “I’ve been playing with so many guys — what feels like five quarterbacks every single season,” Moore said. “I just feel like having, being blessed with the opportunity to — God willing — have 17 for the entire season, the MVP at that ... I feel like it would just be the best position that I’ve been put in yet.”
