Kyler Gordon

Bears signed CB Kyler Gordon to a three-year, $40 million extension through 2028.

Gordon produced career highs in both forced incompletions (six) and tackles for loss or no gain (eight) as a full-time slot- and box-coverage defender last year. The Bears initially tasked him with a part-time perimeter role in his 2022 rookie season, but the 6-foot, 200-pound player has found his groove as a centerfield disruptor. Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the deal now makes Gordon the NFL’s highest-paid slot corner. Gordon has missed two-to-four games in each of his three NFL seasons, though the injuries are promisingly unrelated.
