Chicago QB Joins NFL's Greatest Showdown!
Speculations of a DJ Moore trade had been circulating for a long time now, as his place on the team had been in question. The Bears drafted quarterback Caleb Williams and wide receiver Rome Odunze in 2024. They also took tight end Colston Loveland and wide receiver Luther Burden in 2025.
As such, a veteran player like Moore always seemed to be on the way out of such a young offense. Throughout the 2025-26 season, Moore played his role well, helping to solidify Chicago’s passing game. That being said, trading him was necessary for the Bears to create cap space.
Additionally, statistically, he had a dip in targets and usage, despite his clutch performances. Last week, the Bears traded Moore and a fifth-round pick to the Buffalo Bills for a 2026 second-rounder (no. 60 overall).
By doing so, Chicago both secured a solid draft pick and saved over $16 million in salary cap space. In trading DJ Moore to the Bills, the #Bears save $16. 5 million in cap space.
