After being traded to the Bears for a second round draft pick, pass rusher Montez Sweat extends long term in Chicago. It was journalist Ian Rapoport from NFL media who confirmed the extension.
The amount of the signature is colossal, since the check is for 98 million dollars for 4 years. Of this total, nearly $73 million is guaranteed.
Chosen in the first round of the 2019 draft, Montez Sweat had a great start to his career with 35.5 sacks and 197 tackles. If he is not yet a top player in his position, his consistency and his solid physique make him a reassuring enough player for the Bears to bet on him in the long term. A paid choice? Answer in a few years.
