Bears quickly pull the plug on $110 million underachiever in 2026 mock draft

With the Chicago Bears solely focused on making an improbable postseason run, they also need to consider the franchise's future.

In the 2025 NFL Draft, the Bears selected wide receiver Luther Burden III, who looks like a solid future number-two receiver in the league. Burden has shown some big-play ability that could make him dangerous in the future with Rome Odunze.

Despite a lovely stretch of games from veteran DJ Moore, he is still underperforming for a guy who has a contract value of $110 million. Chicago might still consider moving on from the hero of the Week 16 Green Bay Packers game to a younger, cheaper, but equally talented player in the 2026 NFL Draft.
