The Chicago Bears have not made a decision on the future of quarterback Justin Fields but GM Ryan Poles did chat about the future of corberback Jalon Johnson.
The CB was ready to ditch the Bears after their shocking start and requested a trade but an improvement in team form has seen him reconsider that notion.
Johnson said this week he was certain a new contract will be done.
Poles endorsed that sentiment, saying, “Jaylon’s not going to go anywhere and we’ll work through it to get something done . . . “We have really good communication.”
Talking to NBCSportsChicago.com Poles further said, “The big thing was just kind of take a break here after the season and then we’ll start talks again. I feel really good about that situation.”
Johnson has started all 52 games since being drafted in the second round in 2020.
He was named in his first Pro Bowl this season after 36 tackles, a forced fumble, four interceptions and one interception to touchdown.
