NFL Trade Rumors
According to Field Yates, the Bears have restructured the contract for CB Jaylon Johnson, giving them an additional $8 million in cap space.
This gives Chicago some extra wiggle room to operate during the season with injuries and practice squad moves.
Johnson, 26, is a former second-round pick of the Bears back in 2020. He was set to become a free agent after finishing out his four-year rookie contract.
The Bears placed the franchise tag on Johnson worth $19.8 million fully guaranteed for the 2024 season. He then signed a four-year, $76 million extension with the Bears in March of 2024.
In 2024, Johnson appeared in 17 games for the Bears and recorded 53 tackles, two interceptions, a forced fumble and eight pass defenses.
