The Chicago Bears are set to sign former Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles running back D’Andre Swift, according to NFL insiders Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport.
The deal is for three years and $24 million, per Garafolo, which isn’t a bad price to pay for a player of Swift’s talents. Still just 25 years old, Swift is coming off a career year with the Eagles.
In 16 games for the Eagles last year (15 starts), Swift finished with career highs in carries (229) and rushing yards (1.049), averaging 4.6 yards per carry while scoring six total touchdowns.
Now, he’ll join a backfield that includes Khalil Herbert and Roschon Johnson and will likely be a featured part of new offensive coordinator Shane Waldron’s scheme.
