After D.J. Moore signed a big deal with the Bears on Tuesday, the Chicago wideout is now pushing for an extension for teammate Keenan Allen, Brenden Deeg of theScore reports.
"I already did that now. I did that yesterday," Moore said when asked if he'd reached out to Allen about an extension, per Courtney Cronin of ESPN.
Moore added: "I was like, 'Man, listen, what's your number? Let's get it done.' ... I think we can get it done."
Allen is entering the final year of a four-year, $80-million extension he signed with the Los Angeles Chargers. Chicago acquired the veteran wideout for a fourth-round pick in March.
"I'm going to let the play speak for itself, and if they offer me something that I like, we'll go from there," Allen said in June, according to Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times.
The 32-year-old had a productive 2023 despite only playing in 13 games, totaling 108 catches on 150 targets, 1,243 yards, and seven touchdowns.
Moore cashed in Tuesday, inking a massive four-year, $110-million deal with $82.6 million guaranteed. He racked up 1,364 receiving yards in his first campaign with Chicago, the most from a Bear since Alshon Jeffery had 1,421 in 2013. Moore also totaled 96 receptions and eight touchdowns.
The 27-year-old's $27.5-million average annual salary is now the sixth highest in the league, per Over The Cap. Moore's new pact comes after A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Justin Jefferson, and Amon-Ra St. Brown, among others, received lucrative extensions.
