What is Jaylon Johnson's passer rating allowed this season?
Johnson's passer rating allowed is 118.8, which ranks him 57th out of 70 qualifying cornerbacks. Quarterbacks have clearly not been afraid to throw his way, as he has been targeted more than any other player on the Bears defense.
Has Jaylon Johnson had any interceptions or passes defended this season?
No, Johnson has zero interceptions and zero passes defended through four games. Despite being the most targeted cornerback on the team, he has yet to get his hands on the football once.
Could the Bears cut Jaylon Johnson and what would it save them?
Cutting Johnson after this season would net the Bears $16 million in cap space, and the dead money would not be a deterrent. He has one year left on his contract after this season, and the coaching staff has already shown it will move on from players who can't keep up speed-wise, as seen when Kevin Byard was let go despite seven interceptions.
Who is Malik Muhammad and why does he matter for Jaylon Johnson's future?
Malik Muhammad is a Bears rookie cornerback who has had an unexpected rise this season. His strong play has helped mask Johnson's struggles, but it also means the Bears have a potential replacement already on the roster.
