Bears Sign Wright to Record OT Extension

The two-time Pro Bowler and 2025 second-team All-Pro was the Bears' first-round pick in 2023 and has quickly established himself as a cornerstone of the team's rebuild. Wright's record-breaking contract reflects his elite play, particularly in run blocking where he ranked sixth in the league with an 85.6 grade according to Pro Football Focus. lebandit.lat

The extension comes as the Bears look to build on their first winning season since 2018. Wright was instrumental in the team's third-ranked rushing attack in 2025, which averaged 144.47 yards per game. His new deal ensures he'll be protecting quarterback Caleb Williams and anchoring the offensive line for years to come.
