After consecutive years of leading the Bears in receiving, DJ Moore\u2019s production dipped in 2025.<\/p>\n
But now Moore is back with a coach who helped him get to one of his most productive seasons, as the Bills traded for him in March \u2014 reuniting him with his former offensive coordinator, Joe Brady.<\/p>\n
As it turns out, he\u2019s reuniting with quarterback Josh Allen, too, though not necessarily in the traditional way.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe go, actually, way back,\u201d Allen said in his Tuesday press conference. \u201cWe sat next to each other at the rookie premiere, signing Panini cards and autograph cards next to each other. \u2026 So, [we were] getting some good conversations back then.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s pretty cool to have him here now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Moore hasn\u2019t been on the field with Allen for long, but the two are establishing chemistry. Allen noted that he can already tell Moore is a great teammate.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s really one of the guys,\u201d Allen said. \u201cObviously, it\u2019s a really natural relationship that we have. Fits in this locker room extremely well, very talkative with the guys. And just very excited to work with him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Plus, unlike last year, Allen won\u2019t have to establish chemistry with a key receiver on the fly.<\/p>\n
\u201c[Y]ou\u2019re able to do more [in OTAs], to see what works and what doesn\u2019t,\u201d Allen said. \u201cObviously, again, we go out there, we make mistakes \u2014 which is going to happen. Chalk it up to the first couple days of OTAs and be like, hey, we like this, we don\u2019t like this.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd, again, just continue to work on it and find ways that we can learn how to complement each other and just build that chemistry and camaraderie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Moore caught 50 passes for 682 yards with six touchdowns for the Bears last season. In 2020 \u2014 his one full season with Brady as his play-caller for the Panthers \u2014 Moore finished with 66 receptions for 1,193 yards with four TDs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After consecutive years of leading the Bears in receiving, DJ Moore\u2019s production dipped in 2025.
