- D'Andre Swift agreed to a three-year, $33.75 million extension with the Chicago Bears, including $27.5 million guaranteed, per ESPN.
- The deal lands before the Bears' Week 1 matchup at the Carolina Panthers and replaces the final year of his three-year, $24 million contract signed in 2024.
- Swift posted career highs in 2025 under first-year Bears coach Ben Johnson: 1,087 rushing yards, 9 rushing touchdowns, 67.9 rushing yards per game, 1,386 scrimmage yards, and 10 scrimmage touchdowns.
- The extension keeps Swift in Chicago at age 27 through the 2026 campaign and secures the Bears' backfield pairing of running back Swift and quarterback Caleb Williams for the foreseeable future.
Why it matters: Chicago buys out the final year of Swift's expiring deal before he reaches free agency, paying a $27.5 million guarantee to lock in a back coming off career-best production (1,087 rushing yards, 10 scrimmage touchdowns) — a move that preserves offensive continuity for quarterback Caleb Williams and first-year coach Ben Johnson heading into their Week 1 opener.
