Ryan Pace’s Bears have made something of a tradition of extending their own players with the regular season in sight. In 2017, it was Charles Leno Jr. and Akiem Hicks. In 2018, it was Eddie Goldman and after trading for him, Khalil Mack.
The latest addition to the Bears’ proactive trench measures is Cody Whitehair. The interior offensive lineman has signed a 5-year extension with Chicago, reports ESPN’s Adam Schefter. It includes a total value of $52.5 million with $27.5 million guaranteed.
