NEW ORLEANS — After saying earlier in the week that he might have issue with Montez Sweat getting a contract extension while he still waits for his, Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson said Sunday he was happy for the defensive end.

“He’s a high-quality guy,” Johnson said after the 24-17 loss to the Saints. “He’s a guy that plays his game at a high level and he definitely deserved to get that.”

On Saturday, general manager Ryan Poles gave Sweat a four-year, $98 million extension.
