Overview

  • Multiple teams have contacted Chicago about Moore, who is viewed as available for the right price, and have also inquired on Tyson Bagent and Gervon Dexter, per Jordan Schultz.
  • At the NFL Combine, GM Ryan Poles said the Bears want Moore yet will consider all scenarios and later declined to guarantee he will be on the 2026 roster.
  • Moore carries a reported $28.5 million cap hit in 2026, the team’s largest, with a trade projected to clear about $16.5 million before June 1 or $24.5 million after, according to cap reporting.
  • His 2025 production dropped to career lows—50 receptions for 682 yards—as Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III and tight end Colston Loveland emerged in a spread-the-ball offense.
  • Analysts have floated trade packages involving Moore to pursue an elite edge rusher such as Maxx Crosby, though outlets caution market realities and his contract could limit the return.
