The Bears on Tuesday reached agreement with WR D.J. Moore on a four-year contract extension worth $110 million. ESPN's Courtney Cronin reports that it includes $82.6 million in guarantees. Moore had two years remaining on his existing contract, which already had him set for nearly $16 million in salary. The extension carries him through 2029.
There's no real impact for 2024. But this extension shows how important Moore is to the Bears. They could easily have let him play out 2024 and still had a year left. And according to Over the Cap, Chicago already had $12.2 million in cap space for this year and no impending cap issues. So it doesn't seem the team needed cap relief in this deal.
Moore has remained the first Bears WR off the board in ADP but has been a value in early drafting, according to our Market Index numbers.
It's easy to worry about Moore's numbers with Keenan Allen and rookie Rome Odunze arriving but this extension should remind you that Moore is a high-value player -- and Chicago's lead wideout.
Moore's heading into his seventh NFL season but is still just 27 (as of this April). He looks even more undervalued by dynasty ADP -- even sitting two spots behind Odunze, according to our feed.
This extension should also reinforce how the Bears feel about him long term, and lock him in with an upside QB through 2029.
