3 Bears in line for extensions after 2020 season

Bears GM Ryan Pace is in a prime position to hand out some well-deserved extensions. Here are three players that could fit the bill.

Taken with the 39th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, Daniels appeared in all 16 games, including 10 starts at left guard as a rookie. After being moved to center, he switched back to left guard in Week 10.

Daniels is an extremely disciplined player, committing just two holding penalties in 16 games. PFF gave him a grade of 69.9 last year and indicated that Daniels was responsible for only one sack.

Under the current CBA, Daniels is prohibited from being extended until after his third season, so a long-term extension heading into the final year of his rookie deal appears to make sense.
