According to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Chicago Bears have signed newly acquired defensive end Montez Sweat to a 4-year extension worth $98 million in new money and $72,865,360 guaranteed, which gives him an annual salary of $24.5 million.
Chicago general manager Ryan Poles said he was confident he’d get a deal done, and now the 27-year-old Sweat will be a part of the Bears long-term.
Sweat is a former first-round draft pick of the Washington Commanders in 2019, and during his five-year career, he has started all 67 games he appeared in with 35.
