NextImg:Bears CB Jaylon Johnson disappointed no trade happened, but vows to play his best

Jaylon Johnson, the Bears’ best cornerback, was disappointed to be back at Halas Hall on Wednesday after requesting a trade but not getting one.

The Bears allowed Johnson to talk to other teams ahead of the deadline Tuesday, but nothing materialized. His discontent stems from stalled negotiations for a contract extension as he plays out the final season of his rookie deal.

Nonetheless, Johnson intends to go all-out the rest of the season with an eye on boosting his price in free agency.

“I play for God and I play for myself first,” Johnson said. “None of those are gonna change. The Bears, I mean, I’m always thankful, but I play for something bigger than the C on my helmet... and with that comes, of course, representing my organization.

“My passion, my fire for the game, isn’t gonna change over a contract or a lack of trade. I’m still gonna go out here and play high-level football.”
