Bears Place Four On NFI List Including CB Jaylon Johnson

The team is moving QB Case Keenum, WR Jahdae Walker, and RB Ian Wheeler to the list as well.

Johnson, 26, is a former second-round pick of the Bears back in 2020. He was set to become a free agent after finishing out his four-year rookie contract.

The Bears placed the franchise tag on Johnson worth $19.8 million fully guaranteed for the 2024 season. He then signed a four-year, $76 million extension with the Bears in March of 2024.

In 2024, Johnson appeared in 17 games for the Bears and recorded 53 tackles, two interceptions, a forced fumble, and eight pass defenses. 

We will have more on Johnson as it becomes available.
