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


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 (1,364 yards), receiving yards per game (80.2) and touchdowns (8).

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.
