The pittsburgh steelers attempted to trade bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson before the trade deadline, but the deal was never completed due to a price dispute on the trade.
Johnson is expected to be a free agent, and pittsburgh could be in hot pursuit if he makes it to the market or is open to trading him after he is tagged by the franchise. It could happen that the steelers have a chance to land him. Johnson said earlier this week that his heart was in chicago, but that his focus is on the money he could receive.
At saturday’s pro bowl practice, Johnson said, “heart’s definitely in chicago, mind’s definitely on the money.” “so, i mean, we’ll see how we can make them all work together and get something done,” he said. I’m looking forward to see what comes next.” the fourth-year pro attracted a strong following on the trade scene, with the steelers being one of four teams reportedly showing a persistent interest in johnson.
The san francisco 49ers, buffalo bills, and philadelphia eagles were all involved in the 24-year-old’s life. Johnson was the no. 1 on the list.
The fourth-year pro had a career season with a 50th overall pick in the 2020 nfl draft. He boosted his value throughout the season and is now expected to be paid well. “there’s no doubt. ”it’s a joke. Johnson referred to his reputation as an elite cornerback. “i think just like i said, just through my career, just continuing to get better,” said Levi wallace, chandon Sullivan, and james pierre, who are free agents this offseason, and the team will need to add a cornerback, but with a deep draft, that could be the route. Joey porter jr. had a promising rookie season, but the team must make a decision on patrick peterson, who is entering his 14th nfl season.
