Chicago Bears running back D’Andre Swift was a pivotal piece of the offense last season. Swift’s career-high 1,087 rushing yards anchored one of the league’s best units and allowed Ben Johnson’s offense to flourish. Entering the final year of the three-year, $24 million contract he signed before the 2024 season, Swift is expected to take an even bigger step in 2026. Swift’s running mate Kyle Monangai came on strong throughout the course of the season, proving to be the perfect complement to Swift’s style. Monangai is expected to share more of a 50-50 split with Swift from the start of the season.
