Report: Bears signing Gordon to 3-year, $40M extension
The Chicago Bears are signing cornerback Kyler Gordon to a three-year, $40-million extension that includes $31.25 million guaranteed, sources told ESPN's 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 priority this offseason.
Gordon, 25, amassed 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.
