(104.3 The Score) Running back D'Andre Swift and the Bears have reached an agreement on a three-year contract extension worth up to $33.75 million, his agency confirmed Friday. The deal includes $27.5 million guaranteed.
Swift, 27, is entering his third season with the Bears and seventh year in the NFL. He rushed for a career-best 1,087 yards and nine touchdowns last season.
Bears general manager Ryan Poles indicated last week that a deal for Swift was possibly in the works.
"It's definitely something we need to look at," Poles said then. "We will look at. I think he's done a great job. I love his approach to this offseason. He looks amazing. Second year in the system too.
"I like where he's at right now. This is where this job gets tough is really trying to figure out how you want to allocate everything, not only for now but into the future. So we'll have those conversations and see where we want to go from there. But I love Swifty. I love the way that he's working."
Swift initially signed a three-year, $24-million deal with the Bears in March 2024.
The Bears kick off their new season against the Panthers on Sunday at noon CT from Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.
