Bears' Moore: No Interest in Trading Justin Fields; Discusses Caleb Williams and Keenan Allen
During an appearance on 670 The Score's Mully and Haugh show, DJ Moore expressed mixed emotions regarding the Chicago Bears' quarterback situation. While he's eager about the team's future signal-caller, he admitted feeling bittersweet about Justin Fields' departure from the club.
Moore stated, "Nobody wanted" Fields to be traded, underscoring the sentiment within the team. Despite Fields' exit, the Bears made a significant acquisition by trading for Keenan Allen from the Los Angeles Chargers. Allen's impressive stats from the previous season�108 receptions and 1,243 yards�underscore his potential impact. Moore acknowledged Allen's arrival and the potential friendly competition in reaching 1,000 receiving yards, emphasizing that winning is the ultimate priority.
Regarding the upcoming draft, Moore admitted he hasn't closely followed pre-draft workouts for the top quarterbacks but shared his hopes for Caleb Williams if he becomes Chicago's pick. He emphasized the importance of focusing on individual contributions rather than dwelling on Fields' legacy.
Fields' departure from Chicago seemed imminent after the Bears secured the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL draft. His trade to the Pittsburgh Steelers on March 16 marked the end of his tenure with the Bears. Despite the trade, Fields showed consistent improvement during his time in Chicago, achieving career highs in passing and rushing yards.
Williams is widely expected to be the top draft choice, given his impressive college performance. If he joins the Bears, he'll enter a favorable situation with a strong offensive line, as per ESPN.com's rankings.
Moore, a consistent performer with multiple 1,000-yard seasons, including a career-best in 2023, remains a key figure in the Bears' offense, poised to contribute alongside new arrivals like Allen and potentially Williams.
