Jaylon Johnson's Contract Year Situation

Jaylon Johnson calling 2026 a 'contract year' despite being signed through 2027. Health recovery after frustrating 2025 season. Cap hit $24.5M, trade potential. New details: if he plays well, extension lowers cap hit; if not, Bears save $14M by cutting him. He controls his future. Must-watch situation.
