Or both?
With Allen being in his final contract year and Moore entering his final contract year next season, I just don’t see Ryan Poles extending both with premium contracts in the $20/25 million range each. $45/50 million is too much money tied into one position that’s not QB, in my opinion.
I found it interesting that reports surfaced about a future Keenan Allen extension around the same time he showed up in Bears gear for the Caleb Williams pro day. It appears that Caleb and Keenan have already formed a relationship, which is a definite positive for the team. Keenan Allen is on record as saying that he refused the Chargers attempt at restructuring his contract because he believed he was coming off his best statistical season, so we should expect him to view the Bears front office the same way when it comes to his next contract.
I also find it interesting that we’re not hearing the same type of reports for DJ Moore after his amazing season. Moore was very outspoken for Justin Fields towards the end of the season and immediately after the season, even going so far as to say that Fields was a better quarterback than Caleb Williams when he was asked. I’m hoping none of that impacts a potential DJ Moore extension.
From what I’ve seen of Poles so far, he seems to want to pair an expensive contract with an inexpensive one, if they’re playing the same position. CB1/CB2, SS/FS, RG/LG, RE/LE, and I expect him to do the same with the other positions.
