    Jaylon Johnson has become a true liability on the Bears' defense (opens the original)

    Most Bears fans were probably thrilled to see Jaylon Johnson sign a 4-year deal in 2024 as he was coming off his two best seasons in the league included a second team All-Pro nod in 2023. Unfortunately, things have quickly taken a turn for the worse since then. Johnson dealt with injuries early in the season last year and clearly was not the same player once he returned. He played in just seven games in 2025 and only registered two passes defended and one interception. The Bears’ defense was one
