Johnson told NFL.com that his heart is with the Bears regarding where he wants to play in 2024.

"Heart's definitely in Chicago, mind's definitely on the money," Johnson said. "So, I mean, we'll figure out if we can make them both come together and get something done. I'm looking forward to see what's to come."

Johnson was asked if he believes he is one of the top corners in the game now.

"No doubt. No doubt," Johnson said. "I think just, like I was saying, just through my career, just continuing to get better, continuing to get better."
