With the Bears enhancing their roster during the offseason, particularly bolstering their already strong defense and adding key offensive pieces such as running back D'Andre Swift and tight end Gerald Everett, Allen's arrival stands out as a significant move.
Moore expressed enthusiasm about Allen joining the team, emphasizing his readiness to embrace the added support. He highlighted the collaborative approach between him and Allen, stressing their focus on complementing each other's strengths rather than competing for the top spot in receiving yards.
"It doesn't really matter to me," Moore remarked. "I know we've both talked about how we're going to complement each other. So I'm just looking forward to that. It might be a race to 1,000 (yards), but that's just a friendly competition. At the end of the day, if we're winning, whoever is catching the ball, I don't really care."
The Bears appear to be following a strategy reminiscent of Mike McDaniel and the Miami Dolphins, aiming to establish a formidable passing game with Moore and Allen as primary targets. Moreover, with the potential addition of further offensive firepower through the No. 9 pick in the draft, pending the selection of Caleb Williams with the No. 1 pick, the Bears are poised to field a potent offensive lineup.
Under the leadership of Matt Eberflus, known for his defensive expertise, the Bears are now focusing on elevating their offensive performance. General Manager Ryan Poles has been proactive in assembling talent, leaving no room for excuses.
Overall, the Bears' offseason moves, including the acquisition of Allen, position them as strong contenders within their division for the upcoming season, even if Williams takes time to fully integrate into the team.
