I'm in line with a lot of what you guys are just saying there, and I mean, even the Goodfellas treatment, when you think about the fact that
DJ Moore was only a member of the Chicago Bears for three seasons, but he will definitively go down as a Bears legend, as a Chicago sports legend, and a number of ways.
largely in the most statistically insignificant season of his career, but he had so many major moments.
And when you consider him joining the Bears, coming off the heels of just it feeling like, aside from, what, maybe Allen Robinson?
Like, the Bears were in this desert.
of offensive playmakers for so many years where there was, you know, trying to figure out, like, is Mitch good?
It's hard to tell because he doesn't have anybody to make plays for him on offense.
And then Justin Fields being the only legitimate electrifying talent that they had on offense.
He could score a touchdown at a moment's notice, but no one else could.
Until they trade for DJ Moore.
And that very first preseason game, I was out there at Soldier Field and just watching him catch that screen pass.
And then it was off to the races.
And there was like this collective cheer that was also coupled with this collective exhale because there was the feeling that the Bears...
finally had somebody else who could make a play on the offensive side of the football, something that didn't have to be schemed wide open, something that didn't have to be some defender running into a teammate.
It could just be the Bears having a playmaker who the other opponents couldn't handle.
That was DJ Moore, and he provided that for three seasons here in Chicago.
And now this past season, he got the opportunity to do it, and he enjoyed so many moments of being on a team that won at a high level.
It was fun to watch that, and I feel good for DJ Moore that I imagine the situation he goes into will be another positive one with a winner for him.
But, yeah, I echo a lot of the sentiments that you guys had, that the trade makes sense.
