LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — The Chicago Bears exercised their fifth-year option for 2027 on right tackle Darnell Wright's rookie contract and will try to sign him to an extension, general manager Ryan Poles said on Tuesday.
The No. 10 overall pick in the 2023 draft, Wright was second-team All-Pro last season. He was a key player on a line that went from being one of the NFL's worst in 2024 to one of the best, with guard Joe Thuney and now-retired center Drew Dalman earning Pro Bowl honors.
The Bears went 11-6 in winning their first NFC North championship since 2018. They advanced in the playoffs for the first time in 15 years by beating rival Green Bay in a wild-card game before losing in overtime to the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round.
