The Bears brought in kicker Cairo Santos as an emergency option just before the 2020. Then he became a mainstay.
Santos has given the team stability at a problematic position, and the Bears rewarded him Saturday with a four-year, $16 million contract with $9.5 million guaranteed, a source said. That could keep him with the team through 2027.
The Bears had nothing but trouble at kicker since releasing Robbie Gould in 2016 — until Santos arrived. He has made 90.
