LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson wants a new contract as soon as possible, but he said Friday that there's "no question" that he'll play the 2023 season -- with or without a new deal.

"The way I see it is, I've still got a lot to earn," Johnson said. "I feel like I've still got a lot to prove. It's not like I'm a first-team All-Pro three years in a row and don't have a contract. ... I'm going to come out here each and every day and work, and then whatever comes from that, comes from that.
