Heading into the offseason, the Chicago Bears had a plethora of questions. However, two things were certain. They needed to try to extend Eddie Jackson and Allen Robinson before they entered the 2020 season as free agents.
The team was quick to move on their first piece, as they extended Jackson right after the season. The deal is reported to be a $58.4 million deal with $33 million in guaranteed money over four years.
The extension will keep Jackson in Chicago through 2024, as he still has one year on his rookie deal.
When comparing it to some of the other best safeties in the NFL, it is clear the Bears had some of the top numbers in the NFL in mind.
