The Chicago Bears’ commitment to Caleb Williams took another positive forward step on Tuesday. The Bears inked prime receiver DJ Moore to a four-year, $110 million extension.
Bears Wire has more on this story:
The Bears have signed Moore to a four-year, $110 million extension that includes $82.6 million guaranteed. ESPN’s Adam Schefter was first to report.
Moore, who was acquired from the Carolina Panthers in a massive trade for the No. 1 pick last offseason, is now under contract in Chicago through 2029. According to Schefter, it’s the largest deal in Bears franchise history.
The addition of Moore did wonders for Chicago’s offense. He had a career year in 2023, setting career highs in catches (96), yards (1,364) and touchdowns (8). Moore eclipsed 100 receiving yards in five games last season, including his first 200-yard game.
With Moore, Keenan Allen, and Rome Odunze as the Bears’ top three receivers, Caleb Williams has lots of prime targets to throw to. If the Bears’ offensive line can hold up, Williams should be able to settle into a comfort zone as the Bears’ passer, because one of those three receivers — if given enough time to run a full route — should be able to get open on a consistent basis.
