10 highest-paid cornerbacks in NFL after Bears extend Jaylon Johnson on $76,000,000, 4-year deal

8) Jaylon Johnson ($19 million)

Atlanta Falcons v Chicago Bears

With Tre'Davious White, who was slated to earn $17.25 million from the Buffalo Bills, set to be released on June 1, this list will be slightly different from its source. After him, it is Jaylon Johnson.

The Chicago Bear, barring a devasting injury or statistical regression, figures to be one of his team's potential franchise faces, alongside tight end Cole Kmet and whichever quarterback Ryan Poles chooses to succeed Justin Fields. Case in point: his $19-million annual pay represents a massive leap from Carlton Davis III.
