The Bears have a new highest-paid player after agreeing to a monster contract extension with top wide receiver DJ Moore on Tuesday, a source said. ESPN reported that Moore’s new deal is for $110 million over four seasons, tying him to the team through 2029.
Moore had two years left on his contract, but the Bears undoubtedly wanted to get in front of the rapidly rising market for wide receivers. Vikings star Justin Jefferson signed for $140 million over four years last month.
Moore, 27, has been one of the best pickups of general manager Ryan Poles’ run with the Bears.
