Johnson asked for a tried, but didn’t get one.

Jaylon Johnson, the Bears’ best cornerback, was disappointed to be back at Halas Hall on Wednesday after requesting a trade but not getting one.

The Bears allowed Johnson to talk to other teams ahead of the deadline Tuesday, but nothing materialized. His discontent stems from stalled negotiations for a contract extension as he plays out the final season of his rookie deal.

Nonetheless, Johnson intends to go all-out the rest of the season with an eye on boosting his price in free agency.

“I play for God and I play for myself first,” Johnson said.
