Ryan Poles hints at potential new contract for Bears RB D'Andre Swift

Ben Johnson thinks Bears RB D'Andre Swift is primed for a big 2026. Ryan Poles agrees. What does that mean for Swift's future beyond this season?

Chicago Bears running back D Andre Swift's second season with the team has been nothing short of impressive, with head coach Ben Johnson taking notice of his ability as both a runner and pass-catcher. As the final year of Swift's three-year contract approaches, general manager Ryan Poles has expressed his belief that the pair should continue their partnership beyond 2026.

Despite the typical limitations of running back longevity, Swift's 28-year age and strong performance suggest he could still have productive seasons ahead. Poles' comments indicate a strong interest in retaining Swift, though the complexities of the salary cap and positional context will ultimately influence the final decision.
