– 2025 impact: 1,074 snaps, a 81.9 PFF grade, and AP Second-Team All-Pro show Wright’s elite level on the right side.
– Durability king: 100% of snaps in 2023, 95% in 2024, 99% in 2025 — he’s been a rock up front.
– Free agency status: Not a free agent yet, but eligible for an extension this offseason; final year of his rookie deal next season with a fifth-year option possible.
– Extension numbers: Bears could look at a four-year, around $108 million deal (roughly $27M/year) to outpace peers like Zach Tom’s $88M four-year deal.
– Wright’s stance: “I would love to be on this team for my whole career, for sure. That would be great.” He’s all-in on Chicago.
– Caleb Williams salute: After the playoff loss to the Rams, Wright.gushed, praising Williams as “the best quarterback I’ve ever played with.” He also lauded Williams’ work ethic: “he would do whatever it takes to win.”
– The big takeaway: Wright’s continued dominance, plus a budding connection with Caleb Williams, could shape the Bears’ offense for years to come — keeping the run game powerful and the QB situation exciting. 🔥🏈📊
