DJ Moore’s Frustration With Caleb Williams Intensifies After Game-Ending Pick

The veteran receiver’s minimal role in Ben Johnson’s offense has raised questions about fit despite Chicago’s 9-4 record.

Overview

  • In the Dec. 7 loss at Green Bay, Moore finished with one catch for minus-4 yards and was open on the fourth-down snap that ended with a Caleb Williams interception.
  • Video captured Moore removing his helmet and stomping on the sideline after the turnover, signaling clear irritation with the sequence.
  • Through 13 games, Moore has 39 receptions for 498 yards and three touchdowns, tracking toward his least productive season since his rookie year.
  • Moore signed a four-year, $110 million extension in July 2024 that runs through 2029, making him the team’s highest-paid skill-position player.
  • Media analysis, including from ESPN’s Bill Barnwell, now frames Moore as a possible offseason trade candidate given his usage and potential cap savings of about $24.5 million per year with modest dead money, as Chicago sits 9-4 in a run- and tight end–heavy scheme.
