Bears' Josh Blackwell: Extends contract
Blackwell agreed to a two-year extension with the Bears on Thursday.
In three seasons with the Bears, the 25-year-old undrafted free agent has recorded 44 total tackles, two forced fumbles and one interception primarily as a special teams player. The extension is reportedly worth up to $6 million, which would make him among one of the highest paid special teamers in the NFL.

Bears' Josh Blackwell: Heads to IR
