Bears Reunite with Two-Time Pro Bowler Eddie Jackson in a $83.8 Million Deal
The Chicago Bears have made a significant move to bolster their secondary, agreeing to a four-year, $83.8 million contract extension with star safety Eddie Jackson. The deal, which includes $52 million guaranteed, keeps the two-time Pro Bowler in Chicago through the 2027 season.
Jackson, a fourth-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, has been a cornerstone of the Bears’ defense since his arrival. His playmaking ability and versatility have made him one of the most impactful safeties in the league. In his six seasons with the Bears, Jackson has recorded 15 interceptions, 36 passes defended, and 365 tackles.
The extension comes after a season in which Jackson recorded three interceptions and 10 passes defended. His play was a bright spot for a Bears team that struggled to find consistency on both sides of the ball.
With Jackson locked up for the long term, the Bears are hoping to build a strong defense around him. They have already made several key additions in free agency and the draft, and they believe that they are on the right track to becoming a competitive team once again.
Jackson is excited to remain with the Bears and help the team return to the playoffs. He said that he is grateful for the opportunity to continue his career in Chicago and that he is looking forward to helping the team win.
The Bears are also thrilled to have Jackson back in the fold. They believe that he is one of the best safeties in the NFL, and they are confident that he will continue to be a major contributor to the team’s success.
With Jackson under contract for the next four years, the Bears are hoping to build a championship-caliber team. They have the talent and the resources to do so, and they are excited about the future.
