Blockbuster Trade: Chicago Bears Trade Plans Revealed – DJ Moore to New York?
The rumor mill is spinning at full speed after reports surfaced suggesting the Chicago Bears could explore a blockbuster trade involving star wide receiver DJ Moore — with a potential move to New York gaining traction.
While no deal is imminent, league insiders believe Chicago’s front office is quietly evaluating major roster reshaping options as the franchise looks to accelerate its rebuild and maximize long-term flexibility.
Why Would the Bears Consider Moving DJ Moore?
Moore has been one of Chicago’s most consistent offensive weapons since arriving in the trade that sent the No. 1 overall pick to the Carolina Panthers. His production, leadership, and ability to stretch defenses made him a cornerstone piece of the offense.
However, several factors could push the Bears toward a bold decision:
Salary cap restructuring needs
Desire to accumulate premium draft capital
Offensive scheme adjustments
Confidence in emerging young receivers
If Chicago believes it can reset financially while adding first- or second-round picks, the temptation to pull off a blockbuster move becomes real.
Why New York?
Though “New York” has not been officially confirmed, speculation centers around two logical suitors: the New York Giants and the New York Jets.
Giants Case:
The Giants have struggled to find a true No. 1 receiver capable of elevating their passing attack. Moore’s route-running precision and yards-after-catch ability would instantly upgrade their offense.
The Jets are in win-now mode. Adding Moore would give them a dynamic pairing alongside their current weapons and could transform their offensive ceiling overnight.
What Would It Cost?
Trading a proven top-tier receiver doesn’t come cheap. The Bears would likely demand:
A first-round pick (minimum starting point)
Additional mid-round selections
Possibly a young defensive or offensive contributor
Chicago holds leverage, and unless blown away by an offer, the organization may prefer to build around Moore rather than subtract from its most reliable playmaker.
