The Chicago Bears are officially entering another new era. The Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze draft picks are the latest of Chicago’s attempts to get their franchise back to winning football. That being said, those new pieces were added to a roster that already has a few star players.
One of those star players got massive news Tuesday afternoon that sent shockwaves throughout the NFL.
NFL Fans React To Massive Chicago Bears News During Training Camp
Our very own John Galletley covered the news Tuesday evening:
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Chicago Bears and WR D.J. Moore have agreed to a massive contract extension. This extension is worth $110 million over the next four years. Of that $110 million, about $82 million of that money is guaranteed.
Moore made history here for multiple reasons. For starters, this is the largest contract given out in Bears franchise history. On top of this, the contract extension will allow the first 10 years of Moore’s career to have guaranteed money. It is the first time in NFL history a wide receiver has been able to achieve this.
There has to be a good reason why Moore is the first wide receiver in NFL history to get the first 10 years of his career. It helps that Moore is coming off the best statistical season of his NFL career. So, what did he do in 2023? He had 1,364 receiving yards and eight touchdown receptions.
Moore has played six seasons in the NFL. In that time, he has 6,565 receiving yards and 29 touchdown receptions. Moore spent his first five seasons with the Carolina Panthers before being traded to the Chicago Bears as part of the package for the top overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. It is safe to say this deal has worked out great for Moore and the Bears.
NFL fans reacted according to the massive extension:
