Bears to Trade DJ Moore Amidst Roster Shakeup
3 Feb
Summary
- ESPN predicts DJ Moore trade, citing Odunze and Burden's rise.
- Moore's contract has significant salary, impacting trade value.
- Bears aim to improve after playoff appearance under new leadership.
The Chicago Bears are contemplating significant roster changes following a successful playoff season. ESPN analyst Ben Solak predicts that wide receiver D.J. Moore could be traded, as the team appears to be prioritizing the development of Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III. Moore was the team's leading receiver in 2025 with 682 yards and six touchdowns, but Odunze and Burden posted comparable numbers, suggesting a shift in future plans.
Moore's contract situation, with substantial salary obligations in the coming years, could make him an attractive option for teams seeking veteran receiving talent. A trade would allow the Bears to potentially acquire assets while freeing up cap space. As the team looks to enhance its performance for the 2026 season, tough decisions regarding veteran players like Moore are anticipated.
