Bears signing FB Khari Blasingame to 2-year extension

The Chicago Bears are re-signing fullback Khari Blasingame, according to his agency, Team IFA.

Blasingame served as the lead blocker for the NFL’s top run game from last season, and it’s a solid signing for general manager Ryan Poles to keep an important part of their offense in place.

Blasingame was signed to a one-year deal last offseason, becoming the first fullback on the team since 2018. He didn’t record a single stat for Chicago, but he was a key component to the success of the Bears’ rushing attack. Blasingame helped open up holes for David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert, and he was a big reason why Chicago averaged over 150 rushing yards per game and found sustained success on the ground all year.

Blasingame joins Herbert and Trestan Ebner in the running backs room, where the fate of Montgomery — who’s set to hit free agency — remains in question.
