Jaylon Johnson Secures Four-Year, $76 Million Extension with Bears

The strategic move reinforces Chicago's defense and underscores the team's commitment to building a competitive roster.

The Chicago Bears have re-signed cornerback Jaylon Johnson to a four-year, $76 million contract extension, with $54 million guaranteed.
Johnson's deal makes him one of the highest-paid corners in the NFL, reflecting his significant contribution to the team's defense.
The Bears' general manager, Ryan Poles, has been strategic in building the team's roster, focusing on long-term deals for key defensive players.
Despite the substantial investment in Johnson, the Bears still have significant cap space and hold the first and ninth picks in this year's draft.
Johnson's performance has been outstanding, leading the team in interceptions last season and significantly improving his coverage ability.
