That still doesn’t make DJ Moore worth a 2025 first.

I could be wrong but I believe the Packers offered Carolina a 1st round pick for him at the trade deadline.

Doesn't make him worth it

Technically I guess you are correct, because the Carolina wanted more than a 1st.

[stratocatter]

Yeah if they offered a 1st then someone thought he was worth it. 
I always struggled to see elite in DJ. Not that I thought he sucked or wanted to bench him or trade him or that sort of thing, I guess when Smitty said “they finally replaced me” when they drafted DJ I expected to see more and it just stuck with me.

I don’t know if it’s been mentioned or not, but I can see why the Bears look so highly upon DJ.  With the numbers he has right now, if he’d gotten them all while playing for Chicago, he’d be their number 1 all-time receiving yards leader!  Their current leader (Johnny Morris ‘58-‘67) has 5059 to DJ’s 5201.

 

So yea, to them he is elite…..

Wouldn't be for an extension, as the only one that would make sense is Burns, and extending him would lower his cap hit this year anyways, not raise it.

Probably keeping it open for a WR trade if anything materializes, if not hold onto it to roll into next year when we already should have a lot of cap room and make a few splash signings.

Also worth noting that we'll need to have the most cap room set aside for rookies given us having the #1 pick now.

I am hoping he does well. Especially when they play other NFCS teams.

You are not wrong about Bears wide receivers. But I think they are excited most about this stat.
