This new is good for Lovie and the NFL. It was a shame IMO that he was the lowest-paid coach in the NFL last season at $1.35 million when he led the Bears to the Super Bowl.

“Sometimes, with a contract, it takes time,†Smith said. “But I’m confident we’ll get it done.â€Â

Smith will about make $22 million in new money and the total value of the five years is $23.45 million, the Chicago Tribune reported.
 
Congratulations to Lovie, well deserved. What he's done since he's been HC in Chicago has been amazing, I'm glad to see he got an extension and a hefty payday.
