Photoshop is a wonderful tool. And the good folks at ESPN went to work quickly to give us a first look at DJ Moore in a Chicago Bears uniform.

Moore will combine with QB Justin Fields to give the Bears the most exciting combination of quarterback and pass catcher since the days of Jay Cutler to Brandon Marshall. And the upside of Fields to Moore is even higher.

DJ Moore was traded to the Bears by the Carolina Panthers as part of the blockbuster deal that saw Chicago send the No. 1 overall pick to the Panthers for Moore, the No. 9 and 61 picks in the 2023 NFL Draft, a 2024 first-rounder, and Carolina’s 2025 second-round selection.

The addition of Moore all but eliminates the Bears’ pursuit of a wide receiver in free agency or the NFL draft. And that’s a good thing. Chicago can focus their assets on building the offensive and defensive lines, which is what all good football teams do.
