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.
ANALYSIS
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 -- who is presumably past the shoulder issue that sidelined him in Week 18 last season -- has managed to suit up for 13, 15, 11, and 14 regular-season games.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Remaining in Chicago
The Bears re-signed Johnson to a four-year, $76 million deal with $54 million in guaranteed money on Thursday, Adam Schefter and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN report.
ANALYSIS
Johnson will get $43.8 million as a signing bonus and draw a 2024 salary of $28 million, according to Schefter's and Fowler's sources. While the Bears did not confirm the financial details, it's no secret they were intent on keeping the Pro Bowler and second-team All-Pro in the fold following a season in which the conerback recorded a career-high four interceptions, including a pick-six.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
After being selected in the second round of the 2020 draft by the Bears, Johnson enters his fourth year with the team. It is also the last year of his rookie contract. During his three seasons, he missed 11 games. In addition, Johnson has only intercepted one pass, though he averaged 42 tackles. He'll need to prove he's reliable to retain his starting job, especially after the team spent second-round picks the past two years on Kyler Gordon and Tyrique Stevenson.
