The Bears just made a headline-grabbing move that sent ripples through the NFL. DJ Moore, the electrifying wide receiver, inked a monumental four-year, $110 million contract extension, solidifying his place in the Windy City.
The deal, orchestrated by the savvy agents Drew and Jason Rosenhaus, along with Robert Bailey, ensures Moore will don the Bears’ uniform through the 2029 season.
In a league where wide receivers are the new gold standard, Moore’s guaranteed $82.6 million package stands out.
It’s a testament to his value, only trailing behind the astronomical deals of Justin Jefferson and A.J. Brown.
For Chicago, this extension is more than just a financial commitment; it’s a statement of intent.
Moore’s journey to this historic contract has been anything but ordinary. The former first-round pick from the Carolina Panthers found himself part of a blockbuster trade in 2023 that saw the Bears part with the coveted No. 1 overall pick.
General Manager Ryan Poles couldn’t hide his excitement then, declaring Moore the crown jewel of the trade. Little did anyone know, Moore was just getting started.
The 27-year-old wasted no time making his mark in Chicago.
In his debut season, he not only led the team in every major receiving category but also etched his name in the Bears’ record books.
His 1,364 receiving yards were the fourth highest in franchise history, a feat that left fans and analysts alike in awe.
Moore’s presence on the field transformed a once-stagnant Bears offense into a formidable unit.
Moore’s path to stardom hasn’t been a smooth one. He’s caught passes from a dozen different quarterbacks since entering the league in 2018, yet his production has remained stellar.
Despite the revolving door at the quarterback position, Moore ranks seventh in the NFL in receiving yards over the past six seasons.
His resilience and adaptability have made him a cornerstone for any offense he’s been a part of.
