D.J. Moore has sent a strong message to the Chicago Bears‘ front office. The wide receiver recently praised Justin Fields by saying that there’s not a single quarterback in the 2024 NFL Draft class better than his teammate.

Time is running out for Justin Fields to prove himself with the Bears. Since his arrival in Chicago as the 11th overall pick in 2021, he has encountered significant struggles, leading fans to grow increasingly concerned about his performances.

It is clear that Fields has not lived up to the expectations. However, his own teammates think that he’s the best quarterback for the Bears, trying to avoid the front office from signing a new player to replace him next year.

Nevertheless, the Bears’ plans for their first-round pick remain uncertain. The 2024 draft class boasts notable quarterback prospects like Caleb Williams, Bo Nix, Jayden Daniels, and others, presenting a tempting opportunity for the Bears to consider moving on from Justin Fields and acquiring a new player for the position.

But it appears that Fields’ teammates might not favor the front office’s decision to part ways with the quarterback. D.J. Moore, the club’s star wideout, has defended his teammate, asserting that there is no better player in next year’s draft class than Fields.
