Jaylon Johnson’s off-year could be the Bears’ biggest liability—or their salvation. With a $76M contract and elite talent, the cornerback’s seven-game 2024 season, hampered by groin surgery and limited reps, left the defense exposed. While teammates like Montez Sweat delivered strong stats despite adversity, Johnson’s performance was the glaring weakness. A full offseason recovery is critical—if he doesn’t rebound, the Bears face a defensive collapse and a costly contract exit after 2026. His comeback isn’t just about personal redemption; it’s the key to whether Chicago avoids a downward spiral.
