On Monday, the Bears inked D’Andre Swift to a 3-year deal, per reports. Swift is coming off a career-high 1,049 yards rushing last season.
Smith was drafted by Detroit in 2020 before being traded to the Eagles ahead of the 2023 season. He joins a backfield in Chicago that rushed for the 2nd most yards in the league last season (2,399).
Bears are giving D’Andre Swift a three-year, $24 million deal, including $15.3 million guaranteed, per his agent Trevon Smith at Athletes First.
