As expected, the Bears announced Wednesday they have picked up the fifth-year option in outside linebacker Leonard Floyd’s contract.
General manager Ryan Pace said this would happen at the Bears’ end-of-season news conference Jan. 14. The deadline was Friday.
“He played well, and we’re happy where he’s at,” Pace said in January.
Floyd is entering his fourth year and played in 16 games last season for the first time. The option, which is guaranteed for injury only, will pay Floyd $13.2 million in 2020. He is set to earn $2.6 million this season as part of the four-year, $15.78 million deal (not including the club option for 2020) that he signed as the No. 9 pick in 2016.
Floyd has 151/2 sacks, 23 tackles for a loss and 32 quarterback hits with one interception for a touchdown in his career. He had a career-high seven sacks as a rookie and had four last season playing opposite Khalil Mack.
The Bears believe the arrow still is pointing up for the 26-year-old Floyd, and this secures him for an additional season.
