It's possible the Jake Moody hero story turns out to be a one-and-done chapter for the Bears following win over Commanders

Bears should be worried about another team poaching Jake Moody after Week 6

After Monday's game, Moody will revert back to the team's practice squad, and per practice squad rules, could be an option for another team looking for an upgrade at kicker.

Teams are allowed to sign players off opposing teams' practice squads onto its 53-man roster, so if another team wanted Moody, the Bears have no way to block it from happening, unless the Bears add him to the 53-man roster in Chicago first. A move most teams wouldn't normally do (rostering two kickers), unless Santos' injury lingers enough to place him on the injured reserve but considering he was a late inactive, even that's unlikely.

When Moody was released, it was a quiet market for him until the Bears picked up the phone. That's because Moody was relatively inconsistent, regardless of range, with the 49ers. But, after spending time in Chicago, the Bears saw a different player than the one people remembered from San Francisco, giving the team confidence to turn to him in a clutch moment.

"I wasn't surprised at all," Johnson added of Moody's performance. "We've seen him in practice now for a number of weeks. That's one. And then, we also knew what he was capable of. He's made big kicks in big games over the course of his career so far. So, none of that was surprising. I think that's who he is, and I think that change of scenery was really good for him."

It's not out of the question that another team would want to look more into Moody as a option as well after the kind of game he had on Monday. It'd be a bummer for Chicago losing a key backup and now folk legend, but it could turn out to be a better situation for Moody being a starter with after team while the Bears still favor Santos as the guy.
