The deal is for three years $24.5 million dollars with only $15.3 million guaranteed. The deal is a solid one for an RB but is not a deal at the top of the market. The Chicago Bears add a very solid running back to the room as they continue to add to their offense. Swift is a very durable player. He comes into the Bears’ offense needing a premier ball carrier to help lead their rushing attack.
D’Andre Swift 2023 Stats
In 2023, Swift played in 16 games for the Philadelphia Eagles rushing for over 1000 yards and 5 TD. He was a big focus in an Eagles offense that had a very good rushing attack last year. He also provides value out of the backfield as a pass catcher with 39 receptions last year. Swift has played behind a very good Eagles Offensive Line and comes to an improving Bears O-line.
Impact on the Bears
This signals they want to improve the offense and give the Quarterback another weapon. In all likelihood it will be Caleb Williams and this will give him a dynamic weapon. Swift can be a threat in both the rushing and passing game, and the Bears hope this can help them improve. The last two seasons the Bears leading rusher has been Justin Fields so adding a very good back should help them.
