CHICAGO -- Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles checked a significant item off his offseason to do-list Sunday.
Cornerback Kyler Gordon, the first player Poles drafted in 2022, agreed to a three-year, $40 million extension with $31.25 million guaranteed, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Gordon, 25, is now the NFL's highest-paid slot corner ($13.3 million AAV) and is tied to Chicago through the 2028 season.
Two weeks ago at the NFL's annual meetings, Poles said it was a priority to strike a deal with the former second-round pick, who totaled 75 tackles (4 TFLs), five pass breakups and one forced fumble in 15 games during the 2024 season.
