The Chicago Bears just locked down their franchise cornerstone, right tackle Darnell Wright, with a jaw-dropping four-year, $116 million extension—$93M guaranteed. Drafted 10th overall in 2023, Wright’s elite play and durability make him one of the league’s top tackles, especially vital with Caleb Williams at QB. This move marks the first time since 2014 that the Bears have re-signed a first-round pick, signaling a new era of drafting and retaining core talent after years of letting key picks walk. With Wright setting the standard, the Bears are betting big on building through the draft—and keeping those players for the long haul.
