Moore arrives in Chicago after spending his first five NFL seasons with the Panthers. Selected by Carolina with the 24th pick in the first round of the 2018 draft out of Maryland, he has appeared in 80 games with 73 starts and caught 364 passes for 5,201 yards and 21 touchdowns.
Moore topped 1,100 yards in three straight seasons—with 1,175 in 2019, 1,193 in 2020 and 1,157 in 2021. Last year he had 63 receptions for 888 yards and seven TDs for a Panthers offense that had three quarterbacks all start at least five games: Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold and P.J. Walker, who will join Moore in Chicago after agreeing to a two-year deal Thursday.
Poles described Moore as “a receiver that can create separation and make big plays.”
“This league shows you good teams have guys that make big plays in big moments,” said the Bears GM. “That’s finishing a game off in the fourth quarter, or if that’s getting things kicked off in the beginning. DJ has those traits, and we’re excited to have him.
“And [we’re] not only getting a great player, but when you get to know DJ … you will understand he’s a really good person. He fits our culture and what we’re trying to do and keeps that room and our team and our locker room in a really good place.”
