Wright Locked In for Bears Future

Darnell Wright is proving he’s the Bears’ anchor at right tackle—playing through a torn UCL last season and still earning Second Team All-Pro honors. Coach Ben Johnson calls him a dominant force you can build an offense around, and the team just locked him up through 2027 with his fifth-year option. With other top tackles like O’Neill and Ekwonu also due for deals, and even Paris Johnson Jr. looming, now’s the time to secure Wright before the market heats up. In today’s NFL, where pass rushers line up everywhere, you need two reliable tackles—and the Bears have found their right side. Plus, with Caleb Williams’ massive extension looming, signing Wright now gives the Bears cap flexibility and a clearer path to building a championship roster around their franchise QB.
