What happened: Swift rushed for career highs of 1,087 yards and nine touchdowns in 2025, his first season with Ben Johnson as head coach. He was entering the final year of a three-year, $24 million contract.

Why it matters: The agreement gives Chicago continuity at running back beyond the current season and extends its financial commitment after Swift’s most productive rushing year.

By the numbers: The extension averages $11.25 million annually, up 40.6% from the previous contract’s $8 million average. Guarantees account for approximately 81.5% of the extension’s stated value.

What to watch: The signing and contract structure will establish how the extension affects Chicago’s future salary-cap commitments.
