Tom Thayer breaks down Drew Dalman's retirement & talks Lou Holtz's passing
Two years ago, the Chicago Bears paid DJ Moore to be the team's star receiver.
Now, the team has moved him to an AFC contender.
The Bears have reportedly traded DJ Moore to the Buffalo Bills according to multiple reports, ending the month-long saga surrounding the Bears and the receiver himself.
Big picture view:
According to ESPN, the Bears are sending Moore to the Bills in a trade that hasn’t been finalized.
The return will most likely include draft picks, but the most important factor is how the trade opens up a significant amount of cap space.
The Bears were open about their desire to keep Moore, who made two game-winning touchdown catches against the Green Bay Packers this past season.
"We want him here. We think highly of him. He’s a great teammate. He has been productive pretty consistently," Bears general manager Ryab Poles said. "I have nothing but great things to say about him."
In the end, Moore’s $28.5 million cap hit in 2026 was too much to keep.
"This is the time where we have to look at all the different scenarios to see what can allow us to put the best team out there," Poles said in Indianapolis. "I’ve talked about this before. There are relationships there. There’s a lot there that makes it really, really difficult."
