Running back D'Andre Swift has agreed to a three-year contract extension with the Chicago Bears, potentially worth up to $33.75 million. His agency confirmed the deal on Friday, September 11, 2026, which extends his tenure through the 2029 season. Swift was approaching free agency next offseason.
Last season, Swift achieved a career-high 1,087 rushing yards and nine touchdowns, alongside 299 receiving yards and another score. He has become increasingly comfortable within coach Ben Johnson's offensive system, expressing his desire to stay with the team long-term.
Johnson has consistently praised Swift's work ethic and dedication to learning the playbook. He specifically credited running backs coach Eric Studesville for Swift's improved understanding of the team's rushing schemes. Johnson noted Swift's current performance as the best he has seen him at this point in the year.
With the Bears set to open their season on Sunday, September 14, 2026, in Charlotte against the Carolina Panthers, Swift is healthy and prepared. This new contract provides additional momentum as he enters the upcoming game.
