Chicago Bears get an early start on offseason to-do list: Kicker Cairo Santos agrees to a 4-year, $16M extension

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 18:47:30 GMT

Scratch one item off what could be a lengthy offseason to-do list for the Chicago Bears: sign a kicker.That’s no longer needed as the team on Saturday agreed to a four-year, $16 million contract extension — $9.5 million guaranteed — with Cairo Santos, according to a league source, rewarding him for another season of high-level consistency.It’s not the contract for an existing player everyone will be focused on. The status of cornerback Jaylon Johnson will be a pressing issue in the early portion of the offseason. But for a team that was bounced out of the playoffs after the 2018 season on a double-doink, the significance of having a proven performer in Santos can’t be overstated.Entering Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals at Soldier Field, Santos has made 27 of 29 field-goal attempts this season, including 6-for-6 from 50 yards or more. He’s at 91.2% since rejoining the team in 2020 after Eddy Piñeiro was injured during trainin...

It is not necessarily legally binding. In this case, the draft document, which was not released, could address property taxes for the former Arlington International Racecourse for the years 2023 and 2024, among other issues,In F...
