Bears, wide receiver DJ Moore reach 4-year, $110M extension - ESPN

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — The Chicago Bears and wide receiver DJ Moore reached agreement on a four-year, $110 million contract extension, the largest in franchise history, his agents told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday.

The deal — negotiated by Drew Rosenhaus, Jason Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey — includes $82.6 million guaranteed.

Moore, 27, had two years remaining on the extension he signed at the end of his rookie contract with the Carolina Panthers and was set to hit free agency in 2026.

The former first-round pick was the focal point of a 2023 trade that sent the No. 1 overall pick from Chicago to Carolina in exchange for Moore and four draft picks.

Moore put together a career year in his first season with the Bears, leading the team in receptions (96), receiving yards (1,364), receiving yards per game (80.2) and receiving touchdowns (8).

His 1,364 receiving yards were the fourth most by a Bears player in franchise history, trailing only Brandon Marshall (2012), Alshon Jeffery (2013) and Marcus Robinson (1999). Moore accounted for 39.9% of the Bears' receiving yards last season, the highest percentage for any player for a team in 2023.

Moore has caught a pass from 12 different quarterbacks since he entered the league in 2018 and ranks seventh in the NFL in receiving yards over that span, despite playing with a rotating cast of QBs.

He is now under contract through the 2029 season and headlines a wide receiver room with 12-year veteran Keenan Allen and No. 9 pick Rome Odunze.
