The Chicago Bears signed cornerback Kyler Gordon to a three-year extension worth up to $40 million, making him the highest-paid nickel cornerback in the league. Gordon, who was the Bears’ first draft pick under general manager Ryan Poles in 2022, has shown significant improvement over his three seasons, totaling five interceptions and earning a reputation as a reliable defender. The extension is seen as a strategic move for the Bears’ future, with hopes that Gordon can develop into a Pro Bowl-caliber player under the new coaching staff led by head coach Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Dennis Allen.
