The Chicago Bears have a big decision to make at quarterback this offseason. Keep Justin Fields as their starting quarterback or use their overall no. 1 pick in this year’s NFL draft to pick up USC Heisman award winner Caleb Williams. It’s a decision that is getting, rightfully, most of the attention from media.
But the next biggest question for the Bears front office is what to do with star cornerback Jaylon Johnson, who is eligible for free agency in March.
The four-year veteran, who will be 25 by the start of the season, has established himself as one of the very best cornerbacks in the league. And, as is to be expected from an emerging star eligible for free agency, he wants the big bucks.
Torn Between Loyalty And Business?
Johnson, a first-time Pro Bowler coming off a career year, is torn between team loyalty and the business of providing for himself as an athlete with a finite time as an earner.
“Heart’s definitely in Chicago, mind’s definitely on the money,” Johnson told NFL.com at Saturday’s Pro Bowl practice. “So, I mean, we’ll figure out if we can make them both come together and get something done. I’m looking forward to see what’s to come.”
