Moore becomes the first wide receiver in NFL history to have the first 10 years of his career years guaranteed.Bears break with standard procedure and give DJ Moore a four-year extension worth $110 million . DJ had two years left on the extension he signed with the Carolina Panthers but the Bears do well to reward a top tier wide receiver who had a career year…The Bears broke standard procedure on Moore's contract, considering he still had two more years left from his initial contract with the Panthers that transferred over when the Bears traded for him. But general manager Ryan Poles wanted to act quickly to lock up the team's No. 1 wide receiver. Moore's $110 million contract makes him the fifth-highest-paid receiver in the NFL. He trails only Justin Jefferson, Davante Adams, Tyeeek Hill and Amon-Ra St. Brown. His $27.5 million average annual value puts him seventh in the NFL just above Cooper Kupp. Moore, 27, certainly earned the contract after a career season in 2023 during his first campaign with the Bears. Moore caught 96 passes for 1,364 yards and eight touchdowns . Now, joining forces with new quarterback Caleb Williams and venerable veteran Keenan Allen, it'll be interesting to see how Moore performs this season. But, after receiving a new contract, he's locked up with the Bears through the 2029 season.
