Justin Fields didn’t hide his joy when he learned that the Chicago Bears had acquired DJ Moore in a blockbuster trade with the Carolina Panthers.
When the Chicago Bears traded the No. 1 overall pick to the Carolina Panthers, they got a huge upside, including wide receiver DJ Moore.
Needless to say, quarterback Justin Fields was excited and didn’t even try to contain his excitement when asked about it.
“I’m excited to add a guy like DJ to our offense,” Fields said, via NFL.com’s Kevin Patra . “He’s proven he can be an explosive playmaker in this league and I’m looking forward to working with him and our other receivers as we take the next step as an offense. I’ve gotten to know him a little bit and I know he’s willing to put in the effort to help our team win. I’m looking forward to getting our whole group out on the field and seeing how we can put it all together.”
It’s not short. That means something. It’s clear that Fields has so much respect for Moore, and the idea of ​​the two working together to form the top quarterback wide receiver combo in Chicago is enticing.
DJ Moore brings a new element to the Chicago Bears, including some capital.
Chicago didn’t just get a new wide receiver in the Carolina trade. They got some picks to work with, and the fringes suggest the Bears will likely trade those picks again to get more picks.
Even with free agent acquisitions like guard Nate Davis, linebacker Tremaine Edmunds and defensive end DeMarcus Walker, roster holes still remain. However, with trades and signings like the ones listed above, the process continues rather than derails, making the Ryan Pace era best described as the Windy City.
General manager Ryan Pauls seems to be doing things differently, but the results should show for it anyway. For now, it’s good to see Justin Fields snuggling up to DJ Moore, and hopefully, for their sakes, they’ll do it next season.
