Wide receiver Darnell Mooney heads into the final year of his rookie contract this year. He is due for an extension and a pay raise, or he will hit free agency in 2024. Mooney has emerged as a fan favorite and one of the team's only reliable receivers. Should the Bears extend him?
The NFL combine begins next week, free agency is on the horizon and the draft is right around the corner. Besides those major offseason milestones, Poles has several young stars on his team who could be in line for contract extensions in the near future.
The 2020 draft class has a number of quality receivers who are now eligible for extensions. First-round picks have a fifth-year team option, so Justin Jefferson, CeeDee Lamb and Jerry Jeudy don't necessarily need extensions yet, but are eligible. Beyond the first round, Tee Higgins, Michael Pittman Jr., Chase Claypool, Gabe Davis and Mooney are all entering the final year of their rookie contracts.
Mooney can at least say that he has been the Bears' best receiver for two years. He has one 1,000-yard season to his name. His touchdown numbers are low, but his production levels are fairly consistent over his three seasons. He's also a team player who everyone at Halas Hall seems to respect.
