RB D’Andre Swift - Three-years, $24 million

I figure the Bears were in a completely different place then vs now. Poles was tearing things down to the studs, trying to undo all the damage done by the previous regime, fixing the cap space issues, gaining draft capitol, building a base of talent. Herbert was a cheaper option that they thought could take on the starting duties and while he certainly isn't Montgomery, he was solid enough to take the reins for now. But, now the tear down is complete and we're a year plus into the rebuild so Poles is working on restocking. And this isn't going to be the same offense that we had when Montgomery left so he also would have had to learn the new offense.
