Initially, Moore's cap hit for the 2024 season was just north of $16 million. Now, its decreased by $8.85 million down to $7.2 million. In 2025, the cap hit will increase by the same amount --- $8.85 million --- up to $24.9 million.
It's also interesting his salary isn't guaranteed past 2025. Moore will play without a guaranteed salary after the second season under the new contract. However, his contract has $82.635 million in injury guarantees, of which $66.6 million is a new guarantee, according to Over the Cap.
Moore's dead money is also an interesting piece of his contract. His dead money for the 2024 season equates to $43.6 million. In 2025, it goes down to $36.6 million, then $12 million in 2026, $ 8 million in 2027 and $4 million in 2029.
But the cap is the most team-friendly portion of his contract, as he only amounts to 2.8% of the Bears' cap in 2024. The maximum cap space Moore takes up with his contract is 10% in 2026.
