D.J Moore speaks with the media for the first time since he was traded!
D.J. Moore Breaks Silence on Trade to Bears in Official Interview
Following the trade of the #1 pick, both the Chicago Bears and D.J. Moore were unable to comment publicly on the transaction. However, once the trade became official, the Bears wasted no time in dropping the news on social media, including an interview with Moore.
It seems that the Bears were after a dynamic receiving weapon for Justin Fields, and Moore stood out as the perfect fit. Though the Panthers resisted initially, they eventually agreed to the deal, and Moore now joins Fields and the rest of the young, athletic pass targets in Chicago.
Moore has averaged over 1,000 yards for the past four seasons and is known for his speed, quickness, and route-running abilities. He's also tough and can make difficult catches through contact. With Moore on board, the Bears' receiving corps looks to be one of the deepest units on the roster.
As the off-season progresses, the Bears may even look to strengthen their already impressive receiver group with a pick in the draft. With Moore, Chase Claypool, and Darnell Mooney, Fields has a promising group of targets to work with as he enters his second year in the league.
