The Chicago Bears entered a new era in January when they hired Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson to be their new head coach. Johnson has never been a head coach before, but the Bears hope his brilliant play-calling displayed in Detroit will elevate second-year quarterback Caleb Williams and get the franchise back to the postseason.
On Monday, a new report proved they are very confident in his ability to do so. Courtney Cronin revealed for ESPN that Johnson will be making $13 million annually over the duration of his five-year contract with the Bears. That comes out to $65 million in total— a mighty high value for a rookie head coach.
