New Bears edge Montez Sweat has agreed to a enormous 4-year extension worth $98M in new money — $24.5M average per year. He gets $72,865,360 guaranteed with the total deal being worth $105M. https://x.com/NFL/status/1720847986295468512?s=20
The deal was orchestrated by KlutchSports agents Damarius Bilbo & Kelton Crenshaw.
Defensive end Montez Sweat was sent to the Chicago Bears by Washington Commanders in exchange for a 2024 second-round draft pick. Sweat has recorded 21 solo tackles and 6.5 sacks through eight games this season. The 27-year-old was in the final year of his contract. Young’s fifth-year option was declined by commanders and as franchising him would have costed over $20 million, per Over the Cap.
Just a few days after the trade deadline, the Bears get it done to lock up Montez Sweat long-term, with $24.5M per year — an unreal sum for a player without double digit sacks. Chicago makes sure the trade was a long-term investment for a rising and talented player.
