From the article

D'Andre Swift is in the final year of the three-year, $24 million contract he signed with the Chicago Bears in 2024... He did so well in 2025 that last week general manager Ryan Poles was asked about a possible contract extension for the 27-year-old Swift. 'Yeah, it's definitely something we need to look at, and we will look at,' Poles said. 'I think he's done a great job.' In 2026, Swift's cap hit is about $8.8M, which places him 12th among running backs, and his $8M per year average is tied for 19th.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Swift's 12th-ranked RB cap hit and strong 2025 fit in Johnson's offense make him extension candidate.

Swift is in the final year of his three-year, $24M contract signed in 2024 and is a candidate for extension; his 2026 cap hit of $8.8M ranks 12th among RBs while his $8M per year average ties for 19th. GM Ryan Poles expressed strong support for an extension, citing Swift's excellent fit in Ben Johnson's offense in 2025 (his second year in the system), his offseason approach, and the positive impact of running backs coaches Eric Bieniemy and Eric Studsville. A two-year extension in the same ballpark is considered a possibility, though the team may wait to see how the 2026 season unfolds before committing.
