The Chicago Bears agree to a three-year contract extension with running back D’Andre Swift, worth $33.75 million. Multiple outlets report the deal is an extension rather than a new contract, keeping Swift with the team beyond his prior agreement.
The reports frame the extension as a move to retain a key back as Swift approaches a transition point on his existing deal. One outlet notes Swift was entering the final year of his contract before the extension. Another outlet adds that Swift is coming off strong recent production, including career highs in scrimmage yards and touchdowns, and that he is coming off his second 1,000-yard rushing season.
While the outlets largely match on the contract length and total value, they emphasize different background details—such as recent scrimmage output under head-coaching offensive direction versus overall rushing production—along with Swift’s timing relative to the final year of his previous contract.
