When can we expect Bears RT Darnell Wright to sign contract extension?

Darnell Wright has become a cornerstone of the Bears’ offensive line, and expectations for a contract extension are rising. The 2023 pick No. 10 signed his rookie deal in 2023 and is entering the final year of that contract, making an extension likely within weeks. Bears insider Courtney Cronin said on ESPN 1000 that an agreement should come before training camp, noting, 'That’s typically when they do these.' Wright’s performance under coach Ben Johnson has solidified him as one of the league’s best right tackles, prompting the team to prioritize securing him long term. Chicago has already started negotiations, with the aim of keeping a key piece of the offense intact for the future. The Bears will weigh numbers, market rates, and long‑term strategy as talks continue toward a likely deal before training camp.
