The Chicago Bears picked up the fifth-year contract option on offensive tackle Darnell Wright, multiple outlets reported Monday, locking in the 2025 second-team All-Pro through the 2027 season.
Wright, 24, is now set to make a guaranteed $22.6 million over the next two seasons, Spotrac reported.
The first-round selection (No. 10 overall) by the Bears in the 2023 draft, Wright has started all 49 NFL games he has played, including all 17 in his rookie season.
Chicago went 11-6 in the 2025 regular season, their most victories since winning 12 games in 2018. The Bears were eliminated from the playoffs in the divisional round in a 20-17 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
