The Chicago Bears have secured running back D’Andre Swift with a three-year contract extension worth $33.75 million, according to an announcement from his representation on Friday. The deal includes $27.5 million in guaranteed money and extends Swift’s tenure with the franchise through the 2029 season, building upon his original three-year, $24 million agreement signed when he joined the team in 2024.
Swift, 27, demonstrated his value to the Bears offense during the past season, accumulating 1,386 yards from scrimmage and 10 touchdowns across 16 starts. In his inaugural campaign with Chicago last year, the running back recorded 1,345 yards from scrimmage with six scores in 17 appearances, establishing himself as a key component of the team’s offensive strategy.
The Pro Bowl selection has compiled impressive career statistics since being drafted by the Detroit Lions in 2020. Over six seasons in the league, Swift has amassed 6,872 yards from scrimmage and 47 touchdowns while appearing in 89 games. His professional journey has included stops with the Philadelphia Eagles before finding a prominent role with the Bears.
The Bears are set to begin their regular season campaign against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday in Charlotte, North Carolina, at 1 p.m. EDT.
