Chicago Bears’ general manager Ryan Pace announced their intention months ago, but today it’s being reported by ESPN’s Field Yates that they have exercised the fifth-year option on outside linebacker Leonard Floyd. He’s now signed through the 2020 season, and as it stands now, that fifth-year will be for around $13 million. Chicago could try to sign him to a contract extension beyond the fifth-year which could lower the 2020 cap hit. Also, the option is fully guaranteed in case of injury only, so the Bears could still decide to part ways with him after this year.
