The Carolina Panthers are officially on the clock after acquiring the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft from the Bears on Friday.
Carolina reportedly sent a slew of draft capital – including the No. 9 pick and a second-rounder in this year’s draft, a first-round pick in 2024 and a second-round selection in 2025 – to the Bears in exchange for the top pick this April.
But there was another piece included in today’s blockbuster trade – longtime Panthers wideout D.J. Moore.
The five-year NFL veteran appeared stunned by the deal in a tweet this Friday afternoon.

Moore has been one of the most consistent receivers in football since being drafted in 2018.
He tallied three straight 1,100-yard campaigns between 2019 and 2021 and has never finished a season with less than 775 receiving yards. He’s also missed just two games in his five-year NFL career.
Now a member of the Bears’ receiving core, Moore should provide quarterback Justin Fields with a proven weapon on the outside. Chicago’s top-two wideouts before today’s trade, Darnell Mooney and Equanimeous St. Brown, combined for 816 receiving yards in 2022. Moore posted 888.
What are you expectations for D.J. Moore in Chicago this fall?
