– The Chicago Bears have locked up one of their star running backs for years to come. Running back Tarik Cohen has agreed to a three-year contract extension that will keep him with the team through the 2020 season, his agent tweeted Sunday. The 25-year-old was the Bears’ first-team All-Pro last year, with 1,027 yards rushing, 1,534 yards receiving, and 14 touchdowns. Cohen is in the final year of a rookie contract he signed after the Bears took him in the fourth round of the 2017 draft from North Carolina A&T.
