If Swift has a similar season to what he had in 2025, he may be looking for a hefty pay raise. If Swift is looking to become one of the 10 highest-paid running backs in the NFL and looking for a salary around $15 million, that's just not something the Bears should be interested in doing.

Swift's 2027 extension depends on replicating 2025 form and keeping salary demands reasonable.

Swift's 2027 contract situation hinges on whether he replicates 2025 production and keeps salary expectations reasonable. If Swift performs similarly to 2025, he may seek a hefty raise to become a top-10 paid running back (around $15 million), which the Bears likely cannot afford given competing priorities for Caleb Williams extension and defensive roster needs. The Bears' best approach is to monitor Swift's year-two performance under Ben Johnson, confirm sustained determination and execution, and make a late-season or pre-league-year decision on extension based on both performance and salary demands.
