Overview
- Chicago exercised the option Monday, locking Wright in through 2027 with a fully guaranteed year.
- The 2027 option is about $19.072 million, set by a league formula that rises with Pro Bowl nods Wright did not receive.
- Wright earned second-team All-Pro honors in 2025 and has started 49 games over three seasons with only two missed.
- The move carries extra weight after center Drew Dalman retired and tackle Ozzy Trapilo tore a patellar tendon expected to cost him most of 2026.
- He becomes extension eligible, with some analysts projecting a market near $27 million per year for a top tackle.
