Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles met the media earlier today to discuss his team a day following the NFL trade deadline, and he expressed optimism that they’ll be able to sign newly acquired Montez Sweat to an extension.
“We’re currently working on getting a contract done now,” Poles said.
The Bears sent a second-round draft pick to the Washington Commanders for Sweat, a 2024 free agent, so getting him locked up is a priority.
“If you look at the free agent stack now, it’s going to look very different by the time you get to that point of the year because there are so many different opportunities that can pop up in terms of extensions, tags, different things like that.
