NFL Rumors: Bears Receiving Trade Calls On Two Players

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore runs with the ball during 2026 game.

The Chicago Bears are already in full offseason mode, and the phone is ringing.

During Combine Week, teams have reportedly checked in on wide receiver DJ Moore and backup quarterback Tyson Bagent, putting two familiar names into the early trade rumor blender as Chicago looks for ways to keep building around Caleb Williams.

Bears Trade Calls on DJ Moore Are Real

According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, Moore is viewed as “available for the right price.” Moore is still a proven NFL playmaker, but his production has slid from his monster 2023 season.

Chicago also has young, cheaper pass-catchers coming on, which makes it easier for rival front offices to ask the obvious question, “What would it take?”

Bears general manager Ryan Poles added fuel by acknowledging the situation, saying, “We want him here… But this is the time now where we have to look at all the different scenarios and see what can allow us to put the best team out there.”

Tyson Bagent Trade Interest Gives Chicago Options

Bagent is a different kind of chip, but he might be the one that’s simplest to move.

He’s blocked by Williams, and plenty of teams spend the spring hunting for a QB2 they trust, especially if they think he can hold down the fort in a spot start. Chicago also has to decide how much it values continuity behind Williams versus the chance to flip a backup into draft capital.

Cardinals are looking into the availability for Tyson Bagent.

He’s under contract for 2 more years at $4.7M per year and is one of the best backups in the league.

Unless it's for a 2nd or 3rd, the Bears shouldn’t move him.
