The Chicago Bears and running back Tarik Cohen have consented to a three-year extension, Cohens representative, Drew Rosenhaus, informed ESPNs Adam Schefter.
Cohens brand-new deal deserves $17.25 million in brand-new cash ($5.75 million annually) with the opportunity to be worth $18.25 million at $6.093 million per year. Cohens extension consists of $9.533 million fully ensured and a $12.033 million max warranty.
Cohen, 25, is an all-purpose risk on offense who earned a journey to the 2018 Pro Bowl as a return male on unique groups. A fourth-round select of North Carolina A&T, Cohen rushed for 1,027 lawns and 5 touchdowns and captured 203 passes for 1,534 yards and nine scores over his first three seasons in Chicago from 2017 to 2019.
“Tarik is a dynamic gamer in so lots of locations– in the run game, in the pass video game, in the return game,” Bears basic supervisor Ryan Pace stated throughout the offseason.
Cohen, who has 2 profession touchdown passes, became the shortest player (5-foot-6) since 1934 to throw an NFL goal pass when he fired a 21-yard scoring strike as a rookie in 2017. That same year, Cohen ended up being the very first NFL novice to score a rushing, receiving, passing and punt-return touchdown since Hall of Famer Gale Sayers in 1965.
Cohen had 47 yards from scrimmage in Chicagos 27-23 victory at the Detroit Lions in Week 1.
