EmailPrintOpen Extended ReactionsThe Chicago Bears and star right tackle Darnell Wright reached agreement Tuesday on a historic four-year, $116 million extension that includes $93M guaranteed, sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.The deal is the biggest ever for a right tackle and the most guaranteed money for an offensive lineman in NFL history. The $29 million average annual value is the second-most for an offensive tackle, trailing only the $30.1M that Laremy Tunsil received per year as part of an extension he signed with the Washington Commanders in March.Wright, the 10th pick in the 2023 draft out of Tennessee, is coming off an All-Pro season with Chicago, anchoring a Bears offensive line that helped the team rank third in rushing and top 10 in overall offense.Despite playing through a nagging shoulder injury, the 24-year-old ranked fourth in pass block win rate (95.2%) in the league.
