DJ Moore trade talk

[Mr. Scot]

Seeing a lot of it online...

There's a good amount of chatter that he wants out of Chicago, but nothing from a reliable enough source to elevate it above rumor status.

Potentially more believable though is the suggestion that the team is at least looking at trading him. Many seem to think new head coach Ben Johnson is either not using him properly or not involving him enough. Same result either way.

To answer the obvious question: No, I don't see him ending up back here...

...but him finishing the year with somebody other than Chicago does sound somewhat plausible.

What an offense they’d have with DJ Moore and McMillian. Send them Legette and a 5th

I don’t see it happening either, which is good. We need to continue the young talent infusion.

Not sure Chicgo takes that but ya never know.

Also gotta admit, although It doesn't really mean anything, I'm kinda put off on trading with the Bears right now.

I’m interested 

[Paa Langfart]

Why would Moore want to come back to a franchise worse than the Bears?

[SOJA]

I wonder what Chicago would want for him

I've seen a lot of rumors but nothing with a price tag associated 

[ForJimmy]

He was the 2nd leader in targets with 5 and they won. They are above 500 with a new offensive guru coach. Seems like a dumb time to want out. 

[SOJA]

My guess is that Ben Johnson and him aren't getting along but someone is leaking these trade rumors for sure 

[Waldo]

Weird since he put up with so much bad here for so long.

T-Mac and DJ really would be a nice pairing that compliments each other well.

However... I'm not interested, as much as I do still love DJ and would love to see him as a Panther again, but in a vacuum, not in reality.

Trading for DJ means either XL or Coker get no development the rest of the year, and possibly even both, and really it would effectively end Horn's season too, as he'd be back to not getting a uniform on game days (and no, I can't see them trading DJ to get XL back, because again, they're a team with other holes too, no reason to trade a better WR to get a worse one back).

If we were a true contender this year, then sure, bringing him in would make sense, but since we're not, we need to ensure those two develop this year by getting the targets they need to get better.  Not to mention we shouldn't be spending money on a WR contract right now anyways, not when we have so many on rookie deals and have so many other holes on the team that need quality players.

If we're trading for any vets and bringing on contracts, it should be for a LB or DB, I wouldn't even want a pass rusher as I don't want to take snaps away from Scourton or Princely, as we need to develop our young promising talent, not bury them behind vets again.

I think we've given the Bears enough already

[PleaseCutStewart]

I'm pretty sure the Bears would have to eat a lot of money if they traded him away. I don't see them trading him unless he demands one

[PNW_PantherMan]

Yeah I’m signing up for this.
