DJ Moore, the wide receiver for the Bears, has expressed his desire to conclude his NFL career in Chicago.
DJ Moore's inaugural season with the Chicago Bears unquestionably left a lasting impression.
Acquired in a trade involving the No. 1 pick from the Carolina Panthers, Moore had a career-defining year. He amassed an impressive 96 receptions, racking up 1,364 receiving yards and scoring eight touchdowns�achieving personal bests across the board. His partnership with quarterback Justin Fields was widely regarded as one of the NFL's most potent combinations, although Fields' future with the team remains uncertain.
The Bears are in possession of the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft for the second consecutive year, placing general manager Ryan Poles in a critical position. He must decide whether to stick with Fields or opt for a rookie like Caleb Williams.
Throughout the season, Moore has been vocal in his support of Fields, expressing his desire to continue playing alongside QB1 in 2024. Although he acknowledges that such decisions ultimately rest with the team, Moore is forthright with his opinion. "I know it's all up to them, but my honest opinion is my opinion," he remarked to ESPN's Courtney Cronin. "I get paid enough, but I don't get paid enough to make those decisions."
Despite the uncertainty surrounding the quarterback position, Moore has made it abundantly clear that he envisions a long-term future in Chicago, perhaps extending to the entirety of his NFL career. "I would like to do at least five years here and then, shoot, maybe retire here," he shared with ESPN. "That's always the goal. I thought I was going to be in Carolina forever. I was there for five years, and I don't want to be here for any shorter than that. I'm looking forward to that."
Moore inked a three-year, $61.8 million deal with the Panthers in March 2022, effectively binding him to Chicago through 2025. Beyond that, the decision about Moore's future will fall into the hands of Ryan Poles, while Moore remains hopeful that his NFL journey will ultimately conclude as a Chicago Bear.
