Darnell Wright, OL (CHI)

Earns four-year extension

The Bears and Wright agreed to terms on a four-year extension Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

The $116 million deal includes $93 million guaranteed, the latter of which marks the most for an offensive lineman in NFL history. Since the Bears selected him 10th overall in the 2023 Draft, Wright has started all 49 regular-season games in which he's played and even earned second-team All-Pro honors after the 2025 campaign. He's now locked in with Chicago through the 2031 season.
