2024 Best NFL cornerbacks: Sauce Gardner, Patrick Surtain Jr. lead rankings

Top cornerback in Chicago Johnson had a career year in 2023 with four picks while recording 36 tackles, a touchdown and a forced fumble. The Bears then signed the cornerback to a four-year deal in March.
Impact Johnson is being counted on to be the Bears' top coverage cornerback on the outside. The main concern with the veteran is missed time. Johnson has missed at least two games in each of his four seasons. In total, he has missed 14 games since 2020. Johnson has averaged 2.84 tackles over the past two seasons. Unless he can improve on those tackle totals, Johnson will remain a low-ceiling IDP.

Getting four-year deal Johnson (shoulder) and the Bears agreed to terms on a four-year, $76 million contract extension Thursday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.
Impact Johnson, whom Chicago extended the franchise tag to Tuesday, is instead sticking around on a multi-year contract that includes $43.8 million guaranteed at signing, per Schultz. A second-team All-Pro in 2023, Johnson is now being paid as one of the NFL's premier cornerbacks, a level which he played up to last season. His presence provides the Bears with a reliable pillar in the secondary, one which the rest of the defense can be built around, health provided. Across his four years in the league, Johnson has managed to suit up for 13, 15, 11, and 14 regular-season games.
