D.J. Moore Excited to Join Bears and Play Alongside Justin Fields ''It's Going to Be Real Special''
On Wednesday, D.J. Moore officially became a member of the Chicago Bears after the team's trade with the Carolina Panthers for the No. 1 overall pick was finalized.
Though the specifics of the draft-pick aspect of the trade are still unknown, it's clear that the addition of Moore is a major boost for the Bears. With Moore now on board as a legitimate No. 1 target, he will play a crucial role in helping Justin Fields and the revamped Chicago offense find success.
The inclusion of Moore in the trade was essential for the Bears as it is doubtful that general manager Ryan Poles would have been willing to trade all the way down to the No. 9 pick without acquiring a valuable asset like Moore.
The addition of Moore has completely transformed the Chicago Bears' passing game. His skills to succeed at short, intermediate, and long distances force the defense to focus on him, making things easier for the rest of the receivers. Mooney, who often faced tougher coverage last season, can now excel against the secondary options. Claypool can also utilize his speed on the outside as a deep threat. Fields, who had to work with one of the weakest receiver groups in the league last year, can now develop with a talented and diverse set of targets.
