What I like about him is his durability. He's missed a few games over the years but nothing that seems to keep him out for very long. Even with a "chronic groin/hip" injury from last year he only missed one game. I'm for one glad he's back and will be for the foreseeable future. Report

Getting this done now makes sense since the RB FA class has recently blown up with more money going that way and the 2027 cupboard had Swift at the top of best available. He is a 3 down player, can run, catch, and block well. I think Poles told BJ no on drafting a first or second Rd RB and DA gets to go all in. Report
23 minutes ago23 min comment_235496 This is CHEAP! With the recent contract explosion at RB I expected he'd get closer to $15mil/yr. Which is in the neighborhood of Breece Hall and Kenneth Walker. I'm good with the extension because I think he's a good versatile player for us and really fits what Ben wants out of the backfield. I expect Poles went heavy on the guarantees which is big for a RB and before the season even started. Swift eliminates the risk of an injury affecting his next deal. From a team building standpoint we can now head into next years draft with no need to use a Day 2 pick on a RB. Poles has basically locked up the entire offense and this offseason should be almost entirely defense. I can see one Olineman being drafted early if they really like someone to replace Thuney at LG in the future, or perhaps a LT falls to us for some odd reason. Report
