DJ Moore knew what he was headed when the Bears traded for him in March 2023 — it was where, as Muhsin Muhammad once said, “receivers go to die.”

“I heard that coming here,” he said Wednesday. “I wasn’t paying it no mind. I was like, ‘Shoot, I’m still young. Maybe when they was all older, they was dying off.’”

Moore struck a blow against that narrative in his lone season with the Bears. His 96 catches last year were the Bears’ most since Allen Robinson in 2020.
