Though any hopes of the Pittsburgh Steelers somehow angling for CB Jaylon Johnson were already faint, those dreams are completely in ash now. For now and for the future. According to Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz, the Bears have signed Johnson to a long-term deal. The terms? Four years worth $76 million with $54.4 million guaranteed.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler offered detail on the deal’s specifics.
Johnson will be a Bear for the long-haul. It’s a goal GM Ryan Poles had made clear throughout the offseason process and the team used the tag on Johnson prior to Tuesday’s deadline, buying more time to hammer out an extension.
