Chicago Bears safety sends heated money message amid free agency
The situation for the Chicago Bears at safety is in flux before the official start of free agency on Wednesday.

On Monday, the Bears agreed to a deal with Seattle Seahawks safety Coby Bryant on what is expected to become a three-year deal worth $40 million on Wednesday.
With Chicago adding the Super Bowl-winning safety, the team is not expected to bring back Kevin Byard III for the upcoming season. The Bears will likely be moving on from 2022 second-round pick Jaquan Brisker this offseason, as no deal has been announced.
In October, the Bears signed safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson amid injuries in the secondary. He appeared in 10 games and started in seven games, recording 51 tackles, five tackles for loss, three sacks, one forced fumble, and two interceptions.
On Saturday, Gardner-Johnson posted a cryptic message, which some took to mean that the veteran safety had a somewhat turbulent relationship with the Bears ahead of free agency.
“One thing about me I vouch for every single player I played with, wish the love was mutual! But god vouched for me so I’m blessed,” he posted.
On Tuesday, Gardner-Johnson went viral for a post suggesting he had saved over $38 million over the course of his NFL career.

Not all of the feedback he received was positive.
“Me saving my bread going viral and yall mad at me, shame the world we live in,” he posted.

Gardner-Johnson was wise to save his money. That certainly helps him this offseason as he negotiates with teams, including the Bears this offseason.
It’ll be interesting to see if the Bears bring back Gardner-Johnson. With Byard and Brisker likely out, the veteran could be a key player on the defense next year with Bryant.
The Bears might add another safety in the draft, but they need another core veteran to help with a Super Bowl push.
