The Bears clearly liked what they saw from wide receiver DJ Moore in his first season in Chicago.
Moore has agreed to the largest extension in team history, a four-year, $110 million deal that will keep him in the Windy City through the 2029 season, a person with knowledge of the deal told USA TODAY Sports' Tyler Dragon.
The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because terms of the deal were not disclosed by the Bears.
ESPN and NFL Network reported that Moore's new contract features $82.6 million guaranteed.
After the Carolina Panthers traded him to the Bears in March 2023, Moore set career highs in receptions (96), receiving yards (1,364) and total touchdowns with nine (eight receiving, one rushing) during his first season with Chicago.

Only three players have had more receiving yards in a single season for the Bears.
Chicago also got four draft picks in the trade for Moore, which gave Carolina the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 draft. The Panthers went on to select quarterback Bryce Young out of Alabama.
Moore, 27, will be headlining a new and improved receiving corps that now features Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze. The Bears traded for Allen in March and selected Odunze out of Washington with the ninth overall pick in April's draft.
In 97 career games (90 starts) with the Panthers (2018-22) and Bears (2023), Moore has hauled in 460 catches for 6,565 yards and 29 TDs.
