Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore has been a staunch supporter of Justin Fields since the end of the 2023 season. He advocated for Fields to remain Chicago's QB1 during his exit interview with GM Ryan Poles and coach Matt Eberflus, and he hasn't changed his stance.
Until now. At least, he's changed it a little.
Moore spoke with the Chicago Sun-Times' Jason Lieser on Thursday and confirmed he'd love Fields to return to the Bears. But if it's not meant to be, well, Moore will be just fine.
“I advocated for [Fields], and to see it come through would be amazing," Do you think other Chicago Bears veterans will join DJ Moore and be open to the idea of Caleb Williams?
