- Caleb Williams loses top target after Chicago Bears make big trade
Part of the process of changing the culture to ultimately win a Super Bowl is making tough decisions. Thursday, the Chicago Bears moved on from receiver D.J. Moore , who has been a Bear for the last three seasons. It has not been great the whole tenure, but D.J. played a big part alongside Caleb Williams in delivering Bears fans one of the best seasons to date for Chicago.
Caleb Williams and D.J. Moore did not have a lethal connection together these past two seasons, but when they did connect, it was special. Caleb Williams and D.J. Moore connected on two game-winning touchdowns vs. the Packers, one of which was a walk-off touchdown in overtime. The next touchdown was to take down Green Bay in the playoffs. Plays like that will go down in Bears history and maybe even NFL history.

D.J. Moore and Caleb Williams seemed to be on track to build a decent connection together, but ultimately their last play together on the field was a miscommunication interception that cost the Bears a chance to move on in the playoffs. D.J. Moore served his purpose in Chicago, and he had some special players in a Bears uniform. He will now move on to play for the Buffalo Bills and look to build a better connection with former MVP Josh Allen . Ryan Poles has always taken care of his guys and put them on teams that are just as good destinations or even better. He will get a chance to continue to win.
Caleb Williams now will get a chance to work on his connection with his younger playmakers. Rome Odunze was anticpated to be his favorite target and his best weapon but last season's rookies Colston Loveland and Luther Burden look to be just as good if not better than Rome. This is a move that benefits both parties and one that really shows the Bears are in a great spot.
Caleb will still have an elite playmaker by his side to distribute the ball to, and this time around, build a connection with players he will hopefully have for his whole Bears tenure. Albeit it was a tough decision, the more you win, the more decisions like this have to be made to keep winning. Moving on from a veteran playmaker like D.J. Moore also goes to show how confident the Bears are in former Trojan Caleb Williams, who is still able to not miss a beat.
