Bears General Manager Ryan Poles said at the owners meetings last month that signing cornerback Kyler Gordon to an extension was a “priority.” He didn’t waste much time getting it done.
The Bears reached agreement with Gordon on a three-year, $40 million extension that includes $31.25 million guaranteed, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The deal makes Gordon the NFL’s highest-paid slot corner and ties him to Chicago through the 2028 season.
Gordon, 26, was entering the final year of his rookie deal due to make $3.656 million in base salary in 2025.
He totaled a career-high 75 tackles in 2024, with four tackles for loss, five pass breakups, half a sack, a forced fumble, three fumble recoveries and two quarterback hits in 15 games.
