God I hope so. IMO he's the perfect fit for what the Bears need at CB. Johnson & Fuller would make a solid CB tandem. This entire off season I've been hoping for the Bears to sign Johnson over any other FA. The kid is a physical freak for a CB, he's only 26, & I do believe that he's just getting started as a young player who had to develop behind Jenkins, from a raw 3rd round prospect, into a player who's improved every season. Because of the circumstances around Johnsons emergence into the league & his current situation ,I do think Johnson is one of the rare potential FA candidates that is young, already a good player, & may have more upside to his play.
I've been watching Johnson play when I can & when he's had to fill in for Jenkins as the top CB on the depth chart, I think he actually looked equal to Jenkins especially over the past 2 seasons. The thing for Johnson is he may be better off going elsewhere instead of being #2 under Jenkins on the D.C. with the Rams to cover flankers. I think Johnson would be the perfect antidote for the Jordy Nelsons & other top NFCN WR's of the division. I've noticed tat Johnson has the ability to make good receivers disappear in press coverage.
I think he'd be a good player right away at a vital position in the 3-4 defense, after 1 full season playing in it I think he'd become a beast CB on the outside. Personally I just think he's too talented to set down in St. Louis just to be viewed by many as the #2 guy when he clearly has all of the tools to be a dominant Press cover CB in a bigger market who can also run defend & tackle well also.
I really hope the Bears roll the dice on him.
