The fun on the Rahimi Harris-Grody show today is on a high level.

So this is big.

Bears general manager Ryan Poles, in one of those side sessions at the Combine today, was asked whether the Bears would entertain moving DJ Moore and his contract.

Listen in.

That may be the most pointed statement Ryan Poles has made to date on DJ Moore.

We did not hear as detailed of a statement from Ben Johnson.

But Poles also, I feel like, just expanded on kind of where he left off in that season-ending press conference when he did say we have decisions to make there.

Mark, I see you nodding.

I know you're remembering it as well.

This even sounds less committed than that.

And, and polls isn't hiding anything in this either.

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.
