DJ Moore has been a valuable asset for the Chicago Bears ever since he arrived at Halas Hall following Ryan Poles’ significant trade with the Carolina Panthers a year ago. Now, Moore has secured a well-deserved payday.
According to multiple reports, the Chicago Bears have finalized a 4-year, $110 million contract extension with DJ Moore, ensuring his presence in a Bears jersey for the foreseeable future. Ian Rapoport broke the news first.
A crucial point to note is that receivers’ markets are not reset by this. Rather, given the massive amount of money awarded to receivers this offseason around the league, this ranks as the third-largest deal in terms of total compensation. These extensions are mentioned below.
By all assessments, DJ Moore’s new contract is structured favorably for the team. It includes $82.6 million in guaranteed salary over the duration of the deal, a significant increase from the $31 million he was previously set to earn in his final two seasons. This not only provides the Bears with some cap flexibility but also acknowledges Moore’s performance has surpassed his prior contract expectations.
Looking ahead, there’s potential for an extension with Keenan Allen as well, as hinted by earlier discussions mentioned by Ryan Poles. This move underscores the Bears’ proactive approach in securing key talent for the long term.
Most importantly, the Bears have secured a top-tier receiver with a long-term contract after a season where Moore achieved career-best statistics across the board. This decision is both strategic and a fitting reward for Moore’s outstanding contributions on the field.
