Bears Reach Agreement with RB D'Andre Swift on Multi-Year Contract Extension
The extension gives Swift $27.5 million guaranteed and keeps Chicago from facing another running back contract decision next offseason.
- On Friday, Chicago Bears running back Andre Swift agreed to a three-year, $33.75 million contract extension with $27.5 million guaranteed, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.
- Swift previously played on a three-year, $24 million contract signed in 2024, and general manager Ryan Poles finalized the extension after an impressive training camp performance.
- Running backs coach Eric Studesville said Thursday, "I think he's just put himself in position to have a great year." Swift averaged 4.9 yards per carry on 223 rushes last season.
- Swift's deal follows top-of-the-market extensions last month for Jahmyr Gibbs, Bijan Robinson, and Jonathan Taylor, positioning him within the running back market tier.
- General manager Poles must remain conscientious about future finances, as Quarterback Caleb Williams and wide receiver Rome Odunze become eligible for extensions after this season, plus the anticipated cost to retain tight end Colston Loveland next year.
