Bears aiming for contract extension with Darnell Wright before training camp

The Chicago Bears are looking to finalize a long-term contract extension with offensive tackle Darnell Wright ahead of training camp, which begins on July 25 for rookies and July 28 for veterans. The team hopes to secure a deal similar to past extensions for Cole Kmet and DJ Moore, as Wright is now eligible for an extension after being drafted 10th overall in 2023. With the offensive tackle market demanding high salaries, securing Wright could cost the Bears upwards of $25 million per year. The team considers this investment reasonable given their promising roster of young talent.
