Chicago Bears extend running back D’Andre Swift on three-year contract

The Chicago Bears signed running back D’Andre Swift to a three-year, $33.75 million contract extension ahead of their 2026 season opener. The deal includes $27.5 million in guaranteed money and secures Swift’s place in the team’s long-term offensive plans. This agreement arrives as the organization prepares for a Sunday game against the Carolina Panthers. During his 2025 campaign, Swift recorded 1,087 rushing yards and nine touchdowns, maintaining a 4.9 yards-per-carry average over 16 starts. Head coach Ben Johnson noted physical improvement and better vision in Swift’s performance during summer practices. The extension provides quarterback Caleb Williams with a consistent backfield option while allowing the team to maintain a balanced offensive attack alongside their deep receiving corps.
