How Swift it is. The Chicago Bears have signed running back D’Andre Swift to a three-year, $33.75 million extension, ESPN reported on Friday afternoon. The deal includes $27.5 million guaranteed, with the $11.25 million average annual value putting Swift 14th among NFL running backs. Swift was entering the final season of a three-year, $24 million deal with the Bears. Last season (2025), Swift rushed for 1,087 yards and nine touchdowns on 4.9 yards per carry across 16 games, which were all career highs. He also reeled in 34 receptions for 299 yards and one touchdown. Swift and the second-year Kyle Monangai form a lethal, one-two running back punch in head coach Ben Johnson’s offense. In what was his rookie season, Monangai rushed for 783 yards and five touchdowns on 4.6 yards per carry in 2025. In all, Chicago was third in the NFL with 144.5 rushing yards per contest last season. Swift, a 2023 Pro Bowler with the Philadelphia Eagles, has rushed for 1,023.0 yards and 7.5 touchdowns per season with the Bears from 2024-25, while also tallying 342.5 receiving yards per season over that span. The 27-year-old running back spent the first three seasons of his NFL career with the Detroit Lions (2020-22), who selected him with the No. 35 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft out of Georgia, before being traded to the Eagles for the 2023 season. Swift and the Bears open the 2026 regular season on the road against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday afternoon (1 p.m. ET on FOX).
