The first agreement of the legal tampering period goes to the Chicago Bears, who have reportedly agreed to a three-year, $24.5 million deal with former Lions running back D’Andre Swift. Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, that includes $15.3 million guaranteed.
It’s a pretty significant deal for Swift. If the contract average per year terms are accurate, his $8 million per year deal ranks him ninth in the NFL among running backs. You may remember that last year the Lions handed David Montgomery a three-year, $18 million deal with only $11 million guaranteed.
Swift was drafted by the Lions in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
