I think DJ Moore is still, as it stands right now, the number one receiver on the Bears.

DJ Moore made catches that not only won games for this team, but kept them in it.

His targets went down.

He can't help that necessarily.

So it takes two to tango when it comes to that aspect of it.

It's a different offense, so that also plays into it.

I don't look at it as he's responsible solely for how his production went this year, but when he was called upon, you could rely on him more than any other receiver on the team.

But additionally...

I think Ryan Poles is also understanding the salary cap issue that he's facing right now, largely in part because of players he signed and extended.

This is his team.

These are his guys.

He gave out the money.

And I wonder how that plays into this.

The other thing is, is he already talking to somebody based on these comments?

Or is he preparing us for something that we don't know?

Loveland is the first name that came to my mind.

However, when you look at how they're utilizing Luther Burden and he can, he has the same yak and rack capability.

And not just me, but more so the Bears receivers.

And that is something that DJ Moore also does well.

I wonder how he's going to play into that factor.
