Justin Fields is undoubtedly the centerpiece of the Chicago Bears’ massive trade of the No. 1 overall pick from Friday. That’s because, in addition to a lot of top draft picks, the Bears also acquired a No. 1 receiver in D.J. Moore for the now-sleeper MVP candidate. The quarterback and receiver will now be free to help turn Chicago into a legitimate championship contender.
In the aftermath, both players shared some concise reactions. The former Carolina Panther would tweet a rather appropriate two “shocked” emojis upon learning he’d be calling Chicago home.
Meanwhile, the man of the hour in Fields took to his Instagram story to share his thoughts on the trade. He kept it simple, but it was still apparent the Chicago quarterback was over the moon:
In the latest NFL receiver trade to help a young quarterback take the next step, Moore and Fields now have a chance to make sweet music together. And they’re clearly thrilled by the potential to give defenses headaches.
