Bears WR NOW A PRIME TRADE TARGET FOR Giants AFTER SHOCKING Malik Nabers INJURY – Could This Be A Game-Changing Move?
The injury to Nabers couldn’t have come at a more inopportune time. Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart just won his first NFL game after being named the team’s starter, and having a wideout with Nabers’ skill set at the ready is huge for any rookie signal-caller.
The Giants will surely want to keep Dart’s momentum going, so a trade for another talented WR with a proven track record feels like it could be coming for New York.
Jeff Kerr of CBS Sports had a candidate from Chicago in mind: DJ Moore.
Giants Current Situation at WR Is Far From Ideal
“New York still has solid wide receivers in Darius Slayton and Wan’Dale Robinson, but can’t rely on Jalin Hyatt to fill the void (even if he was a former third-round pick). The Giants need outside up to solve this problem, even if they are 1-3 and aren’t actually contending for a playoff berth this year,” Kerr wrote on September 29, before making his case — albeit a shaky one — for Moore:
Hard to envision the Bears getting rid of Moore, but it doesn’t hurt to call. … especially since the Giants need a player that can make a quarterback’s life easier. The Bears would need to get a significant draft capital back for Moore, since they are 2-2 and Caleb Williams is playing well. Not to mention Chicago is a contender and has its own young quarterback in Williams. Again, doesn’t hurt for the Giants to call.
If New York would be comfortable paying for Moore’s services in decent draft capital, the veteran wideout could be a nice security blanket for Dart.
Moore Has a History of Consistent Play & Helping Young QBs
GettyShould the Giants try to trade for DJ Moore to help replace Malik Nabers?
In 2023, his first season with the Bears, Moore set career highs across the board—96 catches, 1,364 yards and eight touchdowns—while playing all 17 games. He followed that with 98 receptions for 966 yards and six scores in 2024, again logging 17 starts.
He racked up those stats with two different young quarterbacks in Justin Fields and Caleb Williams.
Through the first four games of 2025, he has 16 grabs for 173 yards and a touchdown.
Prior to landing in Chicago, Moore finished with over 1,000 yards receiving in three of his first five seasons. Now in Year 8, he is 28 and still has plenty left in the tank to be the top target for a young QB.
But the idea Chicago might move on is a bit of a stretch.
Why the Chicago Bears Likely Won’t Want to Trade DJ Moore to the New York Giants
Would the Bears
Moore’s contract is expensive, but not market-breaking relative to WR1 money. He signed a four-year, $110 million extension with Chicago in July of 2024. That deal runs through 2029 and carries a cap charge of $24.9 million this season.
If the Giants gave Bears GM Ryan Poles an offer he couldn’t refuse—think a premium 2026 pick plus an additional fourth-rounder, maybe—trading Moore is possible. But given Chicago’s stated intent to surround Williams with playmakers, it’s a very remote one.
HEARTWARMING STORY: T.J. Watt Launches "Puppy Haven" Sanctuary for Stray Dogs in Pittsburgh
PITTSBURGH — In a world where athletes are often defined by their on-field performances, Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt
On September 29, Watt opened the doors of “Puppy Haven,”
Located in the heart of the city, Puppy Haven will offer a safe haven for dogs, featuring top-tier facilities including 24/7 veterinary services, a spay/neuter program, and recovery areas where dogs can heal both physically and emotionally. The sanctuary is designed to create a safe environment for animals in need, offering not only shelter but the hope of finding a loving family.
The mission of Puppy Haven goes beyond just providing shelter. Watt has vowed to make sure the dogs receive proper medical attention, socialization, and rehabilitation before being rehomed. “This isn’t just about saving lives; it’s about restoring dignity to these animals. They deserve to feel loved and wanted,” Watt said, visibly emotional during the opening ceremony.
While the sanctuary was built with a significant investment, the real value lies in the difference it will make in the lives of countless stray dogs. The initiative is a testament to Watt’s deep compassion and commitment to his community. “I’ve always believed in using my platform for good,” he continued. “The biggest victory I can have isn’t in a game, it’s in seeing these little creatures find hope again.”
The Puppy Haven sanctuary has already received overwhelming support from animal lovers across Pittsburgh and beyond. The local community, including fellow Steelers players and fans, have rallied behind the cause, donating funds, supplies, and their time. The grand opening event also featured a series of adoption drives and partnerships with local animal rescue groups, helping to spread awareness of the sanctuary’s mission.
Watt is no stranger to giving back, having been involved in various charitable endeavors over the years. However, this new chapter in his life marks a significant turning point as he continues to channel his passion for helping those in need — both human and animal alike.
“The work is just beginning,” Watt added. “This is just the start. There are so many more animals who need us, and I plan on doing everything I can to make sure they get the care and love they deserve.”
As Puppy Haven opens its doors, Watt has set an example that transcends sports. In a world often focused on personal achievements and trophies, Watt has shown that the true victories lie in making a real, lasting difference in the lives of others. For the strays of Pittsburgh, the real win is the hope of a second chance, and T.J. Watt is leading the way to that brighter future.
