It’s been a roller coaster of a season for Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson. From a 0-4 start that included an early injury to playing at an elite level by midseason in the midst of trade talks and finally getting his first Pro Bowl nod, he’s gone through it all in his fourth season. But now that the dust has settled on the 2023 season, it’s time to officially turn attention to Johnson’s impending free agency. The talented defensive back believes he’ll get a deal done with the Bears, however.
Johnson spoke with 670 The Score’s Parkins & Spiegel during his weekly radio hit on Monday evening and expressed plenty of confidence that he would be back with the Bears for the 2024 season when asked what is going to happen this offseason. “I think we get a deal done. I expect to get a deal done, let’s say that,” Johnson told the hosts with a smile via 670 The Score.
After making the comment, Johnson did try to temper expectations that a deal would be coming soon. “It’s going to get done; we ain’t even started [talking] yet; we barely just finished the season yesterday. So, I mean, let everything calm down. We still got the Pro Bowl, Super Bowl. It’s a lot going on still that there’s some time maybe to go by, but at the end of the day, we’ll be in contact soon, hopefully quicker rather than later. And then we’ll go from there.”
