Quotes From DJ Moore on the Mully & Haugh Show
On The Trade of Justin Fields
“I didn’t see it coming, but it happened and that’s the business of it all…I know he’s going to continue to do good things over there in Pittsburgh and we’re just going to start over here with a new back…I’m looking forward to it”
“I really haven’t been keeping up with it because I’ve been in family mode, but whoever we get [to replace Fields] I’m going to be excited to work with him and, like I said, business is business. Nobody wanted him to go, but at the end of the day that’s what the organization made the plans to do, so we’re just going to go with that.”
On Finding Out That Fields Had Been Traded and WR Darnell Mooney Was Not Re-Signed
“They [The Bears Organization] told me, like, a few minutes before it happened.”
“I texted both of them [Fields and Mooney]. They were both in good spirits…I know they both was cool.”
“Whatever happens, happens. It’s up to the organization. So, whatever their plan was, once they told me I was like ‘I’m cool with it.’ The business is the business of it and you really can’t have no feelings in it.”
On Trading For Chargers Standout WR Keenan Allen and The Upcoming Friendly Competition
“I was excited when I seen it and heard about it. I was like, ‘Now we got more weapons for this run that we want to make in 2024.’”
“I don’t know him personally. I’ll probably get to know him over the time that we do OTAs and everything, so I’m looking forward to that, but his game has spoke for it all. He’s a savvy route runner. He sets people up and makes them look silly out there, so I’m looking forward to learning from him.”
“It’s going to be competition every day. Everybody got to bring their best foot forward and whoever’s the best at doing what they do is is going to start, so we’re going to go out there and have the best 11 on both sides of the field.”
“We both talked about how we’re just going to complement each other, so I’m just looking forward to that…It might be a race to a thousand [yards], but that’s just a friendly competition…At the end of the day, if we’re winning and whoever’s catching the ball, I don’t really care.”
On Signing RB D’Andre Swift
“Yeah, we grew up together some…We worked out together and then stuff like that and I’ve just been
following him ever since he was younger… but now to see him on the same team, it’s great…it’s going to be amazing.”
On The Bears Possibly Drafting Caleb Williams at No. 1
“If we get him, I hope he just comes in and just gets ready to work…You can’t really worry about the legacy of Justin Fields, you just got to go out there and do your own thing…Whoever we draft, they got to come in and put their best forward from the jump.”
On a Chicago Bears Playoff Run This Season
“We were thinking playoffs last year when we had a chance…We had a few games that got away from us then, so it was, like, all right I got to find the specific reasons why we’re not winning close games or what’s going on.”
