“solid” is a good adjective for him.

 

Would instantly become our best WR but not the top end WR I was hoping for.

Another receiver for Allen to overthrow.

I would be ecstatic with it being a fourth or later pick. A third would make me less enthused but would be satisfied. 

A 3rd round pick for a starting WR would make you less enthused?

If it's really a mid round pick then this is a slam dunk, great move. 

 

Still need to add a speed/vertical threat, but allows us to hopefully get a stud defender in the first round.

We technically need to be under the cap, by $24.5m to even make this trade once new league year starts?  Or maybe Chicago is eating a portion of it.

 

Love the player, I think re-doing his contract will obviously occur --- just getting him onto the roster, is where I'm not sure the official rules.

Seems like an upgrade for sure but I'm not super high on him.. This is.. fine to me. I still think we need to add another through FA or a higher draft pick. Glad position is being addressed though.

[TFBillsfan]

Asking…..that’s a big salary to pick up so hope it’s a 5th or later and Chicago is eating some of the salary.

 

Secondly, does Moore move the needle? On the surface, it seems like he’s more of a 2 or 3 type WR.

Underutilzed, underrated, gets separation, deep threat... that's what people were saying about Josh Palmer. 

Moore has 4 or 5 seasons with 1,000 yards receiving. Palmer does not come close.

Honestly it’s probably the right move. I said putting the tea leaves together it was a perfect match. He gets a bigger role , more target share, he’ll be the # 1 but not a dominant # 1 and his contract will get better as time goes

I think the cap and who pays what portion of this will also impact what the bears get. 

 

Curious to see what it all ends up being

Good move.  they dont have too much money invested in the WR position, Moore gives them a strong #1 with legit deep threat possibility.

 

I expect him to thrive in Brady's offense.

[Mod_Squad_Reject]

Can’t help but feeling this a Palmer 2.0 kind of move. Am I crazy?

 

I guess maybe we have a line on a pick in the upcoming draft we really like.

 

What did we pay.

They did it for cost-control reasons and to align the roster with Williams’ timeline. The idea is to have premium positions on rookie contracts during the window they believe they can compete.

So why are we getting him then? I know we really needed another WR to catch 50 balls for 680 yards but 24.5M seems like a pretty spicy cap hit for a pretty "meh" wide receiver

Hes terrible.

No, he's not. he's a good player

[Blainorama5]

If he's been available as much as Im reading - he's already a HUGE improvement over Palmer!

Closer to when we brought in Diggs than Palmer.  However, he is a tier below Diggs was
