Bears connected to depressing WR trade amid Caleb Williams breakout

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is in the middle of a breakout season, particularly over the last several weeks. Over the last three games, Williams has thrown six touchdowns and no interceptions, and over his last nine outings, he has tossed 16 touchdowns and just two picks in total.

Something has clicked for Williams, and that’s even without top wide receiver Rome Odunze in recent weeks.

Part of that is because struggling receiver D.J. Moore has finally woken up, having logged three touchdown catches in the past three contests. Five of his six scores this season have come over the last six games, but it still hasn’t been a great campaign for the 28-year-old.

Moore’s issues have led to speculation that the Bears could trade him this coming offseason, which is a depressing thought given how dominant he was during his debut campaign in Chicago back in 2023.

In fact, Jacob Infante of Windy City Gridiron is predicting that Chicago will send Moore to the Tennessee Titans.

Chicago Bears send D.J. Moore to Tennessee Titans in mock trade

Infante has the Bears trading Moore to the Titans in exchange for a conditional fourth-round draft pick that would become a third-rounder if Moore hits 1,000 yards in 2026.

While Chicago does have Odunze and Luther Burden III at the position, moving Moore a year-and-a-half after signing him to a four-year, $110 million contract extension would be a gut punch.

The Bears initially acquired Moore in the blockbuster deal that sent the No. 1 overall pick to the Carolina Panthers in March 2023. Ironically enough, Chicago also ended up reaping a No. 1 overall selection in that deal, as the Panthers’ sent their 2024 first-rounder to the Bears. That pick ended up yielding Williams.

Moore hauled in 96 receptions for 1,364 yards and eight touchdowns during his first season in Chi-Town, somehow missing out on the Pro Bowl. His production then took a major hit in 2024, as he caught 98 passes for 966 yards and six scores.

Fast forward to 2025, and the University of Maryland product has snared just 49 balls for 671 yards while reaching the end zone six times in what has been the worst season of his NFL tenure.

It seems rather clear that Williams and Moore have not formed a great rapport, which could very well lead to Moore’s exit this spring.
