Trade rumors often are unfounded, but the conversation around Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson felt real enough to him that he wondered whether the game against the Raiders would be his Soldier Field finale.
That’d be a major error by the organization. The best thing for the Bears would be for general manager Ryan Poles to do the opposite and secure Johnson with a contract extension by Saturday. That would boost the defense heading into the game against the Chargers and end the tension leading up to the trade deadline Tuesday.
