Chicago Bears extend running back D'Andre Swift for three years

The Chicago Bears signed running back D'Andre Swift to a three-year contract extension on September 11, 2026. The deal is worth $33.75 million, with $27.5 million in guaranteed money, keeping him with the team through the 2029 season. Swift previously signed a three-year, $24 million contract with Chicago in March 2024 and was scheduled to enter the final year of that agreement. During the 2025 season, the 27-year-old running back recorded career highs with 1,087 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns under head coach Ben Johnson. The Bears cleared necessary salary-cap space through recent contract restructures involving several players to facilitate this extension. Chicago begins its regular season schedule with a Week 1 game against the Carolina Panthers.
