Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson is seeking a contract extension. Here’s everything you should know about the contract status.
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore practices on July 27, 2023, during training camp at Halas Hall.
Johnson also understands he might have to play out the 2023 season and prove to his bosses that he is worth what he believes he is worth. “The way I see it, I still have a lot to earn,” he said. “I feel like I still have a lot to prove.” “I’m looking forward to playing,” he said. “At the end of the day, I feel like we have a really good team. So I’m looking forward to winning. I haven’t had a winning season since I’ve been here. So I’m going to go in with this roster we’ve got and we’re going to rock out and win some ballgames.”The escalating chatter on Johnson’s contract status was always inevitable but became a bigger topic when he skipped the first portion of organized team activities this spring.
That left the stage to Johnson, who in his refreshingly forthright fashion answered a flurry of questions after the third practice of training camp Friday. Johnson knows his highlight reel of interceptions is much shorter. There’s just one as a matter of fact, a Week 2 theft of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow in 2021.
