The Bears are re-signing fullback Khari Blasingame to a two-year contract extension, his agency, Team IFA, said Wednesday night.
The 26-year-old played 174 snaps in his first year with the Bears and contributed to the NFL’s best rushing offense. Pro Football Focus also gave him the highest pass-blocking score among fullbacks who played more than 20 snaps.
Blasingame’s return is a sign the Bears plan to continue their run-heavy ways. He did not carry the ball and was only targeted once all season but his blocking proved to be valuable.
