Bears predicted to part ways with $23 million weapon

Key Highlights

• They have to improve, and there are several ways to do it. And for ESPN's Ben Solak, in what is an odd move, his big prediction for the offseason is that the Bears will trade receiver D. J.
• Moore."The Bears will trade wide receiver DJ Moore, as the future of the position seems set with Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III," Solak wrote.
• "Most of Moore's money is tied up in salary, not bonuses, which makes it palatable for Chicago to trade him even with four years left on his contract.
• At 29, he should still be enticing to teams in need of veteran WR play."AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementMore:Bears sign 14 players to futures contracts after playoff eliminationCould Bears really trade Moore?Yes, they could, but it will all come down to the money. Per Over The Cap, if the Bears traded Moore pre June 1, the franchise would eat $12 million in dead money, but save $16 million. But if he were traded post June 1, this is where Chicago really benefits.
• It would eat just $4 million of dead money and save $24 million.
