The Chicago Bears are signing cornerback Kyler Gordon to a three-year, $40-million extension that includes $31.25 million guaranteed, sources told Adam Schefter.
The deal reportedly makes Gordon the NFL’s highest-paid slot corner and keeps him under contract through the 2028 season.
Gordon has been a key member of the Bears’ secondary since entering the league as a second-round pick in 2022. Chicago general manager Ryan Poles recently said that extending Gordon was a main priority for the Bears this offseason.
The 25 year old Gordon had a career-high 75 tackles (four for loss), five pass breakups, and one forced fumble in 15 games during the 2024 season. He’s averaged 69 tackles, six pass breakups, two interceptions, and 0.5 sacks per season over the past three years.
The Bears signed their top cornerback, Jaylon Johnson, to a four-year, $76-million extension last year. Between these signing and the moves made in the draft, it’s very clear that Ben Johnson and the Bears are not only trying to replicate his success with the Detroit Lions, but they are trying to win now.
