The New York Jets released star wide receiver Davante Adams after they could not find a trade partner, and he ended up signing with the Los Angeles Rams.
As a result, the team could be on the lookout for some help on the outside to take some of the pressure off of Garrett Wilson.
In a recent article by Heavy Sports' Paul Esden Jr., he proposes a trade that would have the Jets sending a 2027 third-round pick to the Chicago Bears in exchange for star wideout D.J. Moore.
"Moore is a really good player, and adding him to the Jets offense would be a net positive," Esden wrote. "What will make Moore even more impactful is the presence of Wilson on the other side. By having two star receivers, opposing defenses would have to make business decisions ahead of every play on who they wanted to focus their attention on."
Jets quarterback Justin Fields was Moore's quarterback in his first year with the Bears in 2023, and the wideout had quite a season.
The 28-year-old Moore finished his first season in Chicago with 1,364 yards and eight touchdowns on 96 receptions, all three of which were career-high marks at the time.
We're not sure why the Bears do this deal. Is the fact the Bears took another young receiver (Luther Burden III) in this year's draft reason enough for them to think about making this move?
We also seem to remember Moore and Fields not exactly being on the same page at times.
But in the Big Apple?
If New York's new management sees that Moore would be able to perform like that in 2025 in a reunion with Fields? Then trading for Moore could be something for the Jets to heavily consider doing before the start of the season.
