The Chicago Bears agreed to terms with linebacker D'Marco Jackson on a two-year, $7.5 million contract, multiple outlets reported Monday.

The deal, which can become official with the start of the new league year on Wednesday, carries a maximum value of $10.5 million with incentives.

Jackson, 27, appeared in 16 games (four starts) in his first season with Chicago in 2025 and contributed 43 tackles, one sack, one interception and one fumble recovery.

A fifth-round pick by New Orleans in 202, Jackson has posted 69 tackles and two fumble recoveries in 43 games (four starts) with the Saints (2023-24) and Bears.
