Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson is headed into the final year of his rookie contracts. He said Friday that he would be willing to play out the 2023 season if he and his camp can't come to an agreement with GM Ryan Poles and the Bears. 'Yeah, no question,' Johnson said when asked about it. 'I'm looking forward to playing. At the end of the day, I feel like we've got a really good team. So, I'm looking forward to winning.'The 24-year-old noted that it would be better to sign a new deal sooner rather than later, but he's also not going to do anything that might hurt the team.
Just a few days ago, the Bears rewarded one of their own. Tight end Cole Kmet signed a four-year contract extension worth $32.8 million in guaranteed money and potentially worth up to $50 million.

That plan ultimately didn't work out. Smith returned to practice after a few weeks, when it was clear the two sides were not on the same page. The team later traded Smith to Baltimore ahead of the November trade deadline. In January, Smith signed a five-year, $100 million extension with the Ravens.
Every one of these contract negotiations is unique. Poles understands that. Johnson understands that. The question is whether the two sides value Johnson similarly. Diggs has more accolades to his name than Johnson. Diggs has been to two Pro Bowls and was an All-Pro player in 2021. He led the NFL with 11 interceptions that year and has 17 interceptions in three seasons.
