The Chicago Bears signed right tackle Darnell Wright to a four-year extension, the team announced Tuesday.
The deal is worth $116 million and contains $93 million guaranteed, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport report.
Wright will receive the most guaranteed money for an offensive lineman in NFL history, Fowler adds. He beats out Los Angeles Chargers offensive tackle Rashawn Slater, who had $92 million guaranteed in his deal, per Over the Cap.
Wright's extension also makes him the highest-paid right tackle ever, according to Fowler.
The Bears selected Wright with the 10th pick in the 2023 draft. The Tennessee product has been an iron man for Chicago's offensive line, starting 49 of a possible 51 games.
Wright was also the first first-round selection made by Bears general manager Ryan Poles.
