Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore agreed to a four-year, $110 million contract extension with $82.6 million guaranteed, his agent told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Drew Rosenhaus said Moore also received a $20 million signing bonus.
Moore joined the Bears last year after a high-profile trade from the Carolina Panthers, and also received four draft picks in exchange for the top overall selection. Carolina used that pick to draft Alabama quarterback Bryce Young, the 2021 Heisman Trophy winner.
Chicago had first overall pick this year and chose Southern California quarterback Caleb Williams. In Moore, Williams now has a weapon who led the team last year with 96 receptions for 1,364 yards and eight touchdowns.
Moore had two years remaining on his previous extension he signed with Carolina. This deal puts him under contract through 2029.
The Bears are shaping up to have one of the NFL’s top wide receiver units, with Keenan Allen and ninth overall draft pick Rome Odunze also on the roster.
