DJ Moore Wants to Get Bears Teammate Paid After His Massive Contract Extension
The Chicago Bears were extremely active this offseason in terms of improving the roster. General manager Ryan Poles did an exceptional job adding talent so this team can make a playoff run this season.
On Tuesday, the Bears decided to extend WR DJ Moore to a four-year, $110 million deal with $82.6 million guaranteed.
Now that he's locked into the Windy City, Moore is vouching for his teammate to get his payday next.
Bears News: DJ Moore Wants Keenan Allen To Get a New Deal
Keenan Allen was acquired by the Bears back in March and now forms a three-headed monster with Moore and Rome Odunze.
Allen is heading into the final season of his four-year, $80 million deal. Moore would love to see his teammate ink a new deal and he expressed that publicly via NBCSportsChicago.com.
"I was like, man, listen. What’s your number? Let’s get it done. And I mean, I’m going to leave his number out of it. But I think we can get it done."

Even though they have yet to play a down together, Moore wants this group to be together for the foreseeable future and you can't blame him.
Allen is a shifty pass-catcher who dominated when he was in Los Angeles. He is coming off a campaign where he reeled in 108 passes for 1,243 yards and seven touchdowns.
The 32-year-old is known for being a precise route runner while Moore has the ability to stretch the field vertically.
Their play styles complement each other perfectly and will make it tough for defenses to hone in on one player. Of course, Moore wants to keep the six-time Pro Bowler around. He will see more one-on-one coverage with Allen on the field, which means more success for the Bears offense.
